I’m an Associate DevOps Engineer focused on building secure, cost-optimized cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes. I architect compute, networking, and cluster setup end-to-end, including EKS and AKS provisioning from scratch.

At Solytics Partners, I led migrations of non-production environments from AWS/Azure to a cost-optimized provider, reducing monthly cloud spend from $22,000 to $19,000 (11%). I also cut Docker image sizes by 35% and improved CI/CD efficiency by migrating Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions, reducing deployment time from 40 to 22 minutes (45%) while improving reliability.

I deploy and support enterprise applications across EKS, AKS, and on-prem Kubernetes using Helm, ArgoCD, and centralized configuration. I’ve implemented secure workload authentication with Azure Workload Identity and Amazon EKS Pod Identity, plus AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and HashiCorp Vault—eliminating static credentials across Kubernetes workloads.

I strengthen operations through observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Filebeat, Kibana, and EFK, reducing log ingestion from 20 GB/day to 5 GB/day and accelerating troubleshooting. I also resolve production Kubernetes incidents using logs, metrics, and RCA, and I hold AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and Google Cloud Digital Leader certifications.
