At Altimetrik India Pvt. Ltd., I built and maintain an end-to-end environment for a PHP monolith and more than 200 microservices, provisioning resources in a dedicated GCP project with Terraform and Kubernetes.

I migrated monitoring assets from Splunk to Datadog and developed reusable Terraform modules for deploying monitors and dashboards as code. I also developed a Java and Spring Boot service that consumes Kafka events and stores transformed data in PostgreSQL.

I built LoadZilla, a web application that generates Gatling test configurations from cURL, OpenAPI/Swagger, or GraphQL inputs. I also developed a reusable performance testing framework and a Buildkite plugin that integrates Gatling tests into CI/CD pipelines.

Earlier, I worked on PHP and Drupal web applications at Tata Consultancy Services, Optimize IT Systems, WebSpiders India Pvt. Ltd., ZeroMatrix Solutions Pvt. Ltd., and Webguru Infosystems Pvt. Ltd. My experience also includes decoupling a warehouse management service from a PHP monolith and supporting Drupal application delivery and maintenance.
