Sagar Phull
@sagarphull
DevOps & Cloud Engineer building CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and reliable cloud platforms with observability and optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps & Cloud Engineer with around 6+ years of experience optimizing AWS-based infrastructure and streamlining development workflows. I focus on CI/CD automation, Infrastructure as Code, and operational excellence so teams can ship faster with confidence.
In my current role, I build and improve CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes, strengthening integration, testing, and deployment reliability. I also implement monitoring with Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, and Icinga, and I’ve analyzed Databricks cluster metrics to resolve bottlenecks—improving ETL and data analytics processing times by 25%.
I’m comfortable operating with SRE principles: I define reliability metrics like SLO, SLI, and Error Budget, and I streamline ops processes such as Incident and Problem Management. I’ve also supported cloud migrations from on-premises to AWS with minimal downtime, improved performance, and cost savings through careful planning.
Across roles, I’ve maintained secure, scalable platforms using IAM, encryption/KMS, and secret management in CI/CD pipelines. My background in Linux/Windows automation, Agile collaboration, and incident troubleshooting helps me deliver durable systems that stay performant during traffic spikes.
