Hrushikesh Deshmukh

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of experience automating critical deployments in high-stakes production environments. I focus on end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and automation with Ansible to deliver faster, error-free releases at scale. I’m especially motivated by bridging the gap between Development and Operations teams.

At Avekshaa Technologies Pvt Ltd, I supported a client environment for HDFC Bank on release automation and deployment. I developed Ansible playbooks to automate repetitive operational tasks across 25+ critical banking applications, reducing manual engineering effort by 50–60% and enabling same-day releases. I also built and maintained Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for 20+ banking applications, cutting release cycle time by 30% and eliminating manual deployment errors across DEV, UAT, and PROD.

I orchestrated Kubernetes deployments for critical banking workloads by managing pod scaling, health monitoring, and proactive incident response to minimize downtime and ensure high availability in production. I automated data patch execution across banking environments, eliminated manual patch handling, and performed 100+ end-to-end application, database, and container deployments across UAT and PROD. I manage artifact versioning and release traceability with JFrog Artifactory, handle privileged access with CyberArk (PAM), and use ServiceNow for change management and incident tracking—while documenting SOPs and incident reports to support governance and regulatory compliance. I’m currently exploring GitOps, MLOps, and Observability.
