What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a platform/cloud role where I can build secure automation, improve production reliability and performance, and strengthen observability. I want to own impactful upgrades and incident response while mentoring engineers.

I’m a Platform Engineer with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT Jabalpur (CPI: 8.4). I enjoy turning production challenges into repeatable systems—focused on reliability, security, and measurable outcomes.

At ZoloStays, I’ve led PostgreSQL major-version upgrades for production Cloud SQL instances, ensuring backup, validation, and rollback planning. I also build and operate workloads on GKE using Kubernetes manifests and ArgoCD, and I investigate production incidents reported through Zenduty to restore availability quickly.

I’ve improved performance and visibility by reducing API response time by 30% through query optimization, caching, and pagination. I integrated Datadog and the EFK stack across 10+ services, and built Grafana dashboards with Prometheus alert rules to strengthen production observability.

I care about secure automation and team enablement. I’ve implemented approval-based GCP Cloud Functions workflows for controlled query releases, configured Cloud Armor policies for DDoS mitigation, provisioned infrastructure with Terraform, and mentored 5+ engineers on internal platforms and engineering workflows.
