What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in cloud technologies.

I am a certified Cloud and DevOps Engineer with over 13 years of experience in designing, automating, and managing secure and scalable infrastructures. My expertise lies in Azure and AWS cloud platforms, Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps. I have a proven track record in cloud migration, cost optimization, and operational excellence.

At TomTom India, I designed and maintained scalable Azure Cloud Infrastructure, leading the architecture and delivery of multiple cloud projects. My role involved automating infrastructure provisioning and configuration, which significantly improved deployment consistency and speed. I also executed seamless migrations of legacy systems to Azure, ensuring minimal disruption and enhanced performance.

Previously, I worked with Amazon Web Services and Cognizant Technology Solutions, where I managed core AWS services and automated operational tasks. My experience spans across various roles, including Infrastructure Engineer and Linux Operations Engineer, where I honed my skills in system hardening, monitoring, and incident resolution. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive efficiency and innovation in cloud environments.
