Lead DevOps/Platform consultant building secure, scalable AWS platforms with automation and CI/CD.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead DevOps / Platform Consultant with 11+ years of experience building and operating scalable, high-availability AWS platforms. I focus on driving DevOps practices end-to-end—environment setup, provisioning, monitoring, and operational excellence—so teams can deliver secure, reliable, and cost-optimized cloud solutions aligned with business goals.
In recent roles, I’ve led AWS cloud provisioning, automation, and operations across shared and multi-account environments, partnering with cross-functional teams to improve scalability, resilience, and resource optimization. I review application architectures and design infrastructure that is secure and cost-efficient, while also mentoring DevOps/Platform engineers to ensure timely, high-quality platform delivery.
Earlier, I led enterprise DevOps strategy and transformation, standardizing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS CDK. I architected and automated CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins to improve deployment speed and release consistency, and I delivered measurable impact through cloud cost optimization and monitoring (up to 30% cost reduction) using Auto Scaling, rightsizing, and AWS CloudWatch.
