India

Message

At Cookr & Comixo, I own DevOps and platform infrastructure for two products, including Comixo, a customer-facing SaaS product. I architected multi-tenant EKS infrastructure across six clusters and 52 microservices, sustaining 99.8% platform availability while migrating from VM-based deployments to a containerized, GitOps-driven platform.

I standardized CI/CD and infrastructure patterns across 70+ repositories, reducing deployment time to under two minutes, and cut AWS spend by 45% while securing $100K+ in AWS credits. I also own incident response and post-incident reviews, and built an AI-assisted observability platform that supports remediation with human approval.
