What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run secure, high-availability Linux and cloud operations, automate CI/CD, and own 24x7 production support—using monitoring, hardening, and database reliability to reduce downtime and incidents.

I’m a results-driven Senior System Administrator and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 8+ years managing enterprise Linux environments across RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu and multi-cloud platforms. I specialize in infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, and 24x7 production support, with a focus on reliability, security hardening, and measurable downtime reduction.

In high-stakes environments, I’ve supported clients including the Department of Telecommunications of India (Govt. of India) and Parliament of India (Rajya Sabha), plus Rajasthan Police (Govt. of Rajasthan) through the CCTNS application stack. I help maintain uptime targets (99.9%+ / 99.8%) by monitoring proactively, patching within maintenance windows, and maintaining auditable server runbooks.

I’m hands-on with PostgreSQL and MySQL administration—health checks, tuning, and automated backup/recovery—alongside web/app provisioning using Apache, Tomcat, and LAMP stack configurations. I also strengthen networks and security using DNS/DHCP, SSL/TLS, Sophos Firewall, and structured vulnerability management.

On the DevOps side, I build and improve CI/CD using GitLab CI/CD and shell automation, including deployments designed for zero downtime across production and staging. I’ve mentored junior administrators, implemented alerting thresholds (e.g., reducing incident response time by 40%), and reduced open CVEs through disciplined assessment and patching.
