DevOps engineer driving Kubernetes reliability through automation and incident mastery.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps Engineer and Technical Consultant with 5 years of experience operating and troubleshooting large-scale Kubernetes, Linux, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure platforms. I focus on driving automation, reliability, and production excellence while eliminating operational toil with Python scripting and REST API integrations.
In production support, I’ve managed P1 incidents end-to-end—from triage through resolution—by isolating bottlenecks across Kubernetes, DNS, SSL/TLS, APIs, and distributed systems. I’ve helped reduce customer downtime by 60%+ and improved resolution timelines by 40% through deep log analysis, backend troubleshooting, packet-level analysis, and root-cause analysis.
Working with Cisco data centre management tools, I’ve consulted enterprise clients on platform optimization across Nexus Dashboard, NDFC, Intersight, and NDB. I supported 40+ large-scale deployments and migrations from Cisco DCNM to Nexus Dashboard and NDFC with zero critical post-production failures, and I’ve delivered faster releases through CI/CD automation using GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, Docker-based workflows, and observability with ELK Stack and Splunk.
