@manavenkotasanndip
I’m a Senior Jira/Atlassian admin delivering secure workflows, automation, and migrations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I bring 10+ years in IT and 9+ years of hands-on expertise administering Atlassian tools like JIRA, Confluence, Crowd, Bamboo, and related ecosystems across UNIX/Windows environments. I specialize in customizing JIRA projects end-to-end—schemas, complex workflows, validations, conditions, post functions, issue types, custom screens/fields, and permission/notification schemes—while keeping operations stable with “daily backup and restore operations.”
I’ve led production “installed, upgraded” and “migrated JIRA across environments,” including “JIRA database Postgresql dumps to restore JIRA,” plus “JIRA bash shell scripting” and Tomcat/JVM tuning. I also drive measurable execution through automations (JIRA API, smart values, ServiceNow connector), integrations with Zephyr Scale and Tempo for test/time reporting, and cross-team coordination for parallel deployments across onshore/offshore models.
