Senior Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Unix/Linux migration, AWS, and Kubernetes for high-availability platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned Senior Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer with 20+ years spanning Unix/Linux administration, infrastructure transformation, and enterprise service delivery across global, multi-data-centre environments. I bring proven expertise across Linux (RHEL/SUSE), Solaris, and AIX, and I support hybrid infrastructure and platform modernisation using AWS and Kubernetes.
I’ve coordinated complex migrations and production support across enterprise teams, including large-scale Unix/Linux, NAS, SAN, Solaris forklift, and Linux migrations across 10,000+ servers and 300+ volumes with zero data loss and minimal downtime. I’m hands-on with automation and storage engineering—using rsync-based approaches, LVM/VxVM, Veritas Cluster Server (VCS), and Kubernetes deployments—to drive high availability, operational continuity, and reliable SLA-driven outcomes.
Experience
