Senior DevOps/SRE engineer specializing in cloud, Kubernetes, and Terraform-driven enterprise automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer with 5+ years architecting and automating cloud platforms on Azure, AWS, and GCP, with deep specialization in Kubernetes (AKS/EKS), Terraform IaC, CI/CD at enterprise scale, and DevSecOps-aligned delivery.
I’ve delivered measurable impact—cut cloud costs by 30% and deployment time by 60%, achieved 99.9% uptime on production Kubernetes using Istio, Helm, and SRE practices (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets), and led zero-downtime GCP → Azure migrations. I also build agentic AI tools for DevOps workflows to reduce MTTR and operator toil, while applying SRE, FinOps, GitOps, and shift-left security to improve reliability and delivery velocity.
