What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps role where I can own end-to-end cloud-native delivery—Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitOps, and observability—while building systems that measurably reduce incident time and keep releases near-zero downtime.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 2.5+ years building and operating production-scale cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and Azure. I focus on delivering reliable platform foundations—automation, deployment safety, and measurable operational outcomes.

In my current role, I’m architecting a custom Git hosting platform (GitLab alternative) from scratch, covering SSH-based auth, clone workflow, server-side Git hooks for access control, and multi-user repo isolation. I also manage CI/CD pipelines and AWS infrastructure with Terraform to support live production services.

I’ve built full-stack observability using Prometheus, Loki, Promtail, cadvisor, node-exporter, and Grafana dashboards, and integrated Alertmanager routing to Microsoft Teams for on-call response. I reduced mean time to detect incidents from ~20 min to under 5 min, and automated ticket creation via Grafana → Jira.

On the infrastructure side, I’ve built a scalable GPU-enabled Amazon EKS cluster for AI/ML workloads, including VPC CNI prefix delegation and NVIDIA GPU time-slicing to improve utilization and reduce cost. Across Kubernetes and GitOps delivery, I’ve driven near-zero downtime releases by combining Jenkins CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Ansible-driven rolling updates.
