Platform & DevOps engineer delivering enterprise middleware operations and Kubernetes/OpenShift reliability with automation, observability, and zero-escalation focus.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Platform & DevOps Engineer with 3+ years at Red Hat, combining enterprise middleware operations (JBoss EAP, DataGrid/Infinispan, JVM) with Kubernetes and OpenShift 4.x reliability. I’m deeply hands-on with Linux-based infrastructure and production-grade troubleshooting, including TCP/IP networking (Layer 2/3 concepts, VLAN, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, SSL/TLS), and I operate under strict SLAs to keep issues from escalating.
Across my Red Hat roles, I’ve been recognized multiple times for Severity 1 ownership, cross-team collaboration, and zero-escalation delivery—often on high-severity calls requiring calm, structured RCA work. I also build and share practical solutions: designing GitOps pipelines with Argo CD and GitHub Actions, authoring 10+ internal K8s/OpenShift troubleshooting knowledge base articles (Case-KCS Champion, CY2024), and publishing open-source reference projects that automate sync, rollback, and multi-environment promotion.
