India

Message

At Avoma, I was the first DevOps hire and built and standardized AWS infrastructure with Terraform, moving production from manual provisioning to Infrastructure as Code. I reduced monthly cloud spend by approximately 25%.

I led the migration of core RTMS services from EC2 to EKS and automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions and CodeDeploy, cutting deployment time by approximately 80%. I also built centralized logging, monitoring, and on-call workflows.

At Avoma, I led compliance programs including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR/HIPAA, and Google CASA. I also worked on an RCA Agent workflow and self-hosted n8n to support AI-driven incident analysis and workflow automation.

Earlier, at Platform9 Systems Pvt Ltd and Red Hat India Pvt Ltd, I deployed and supported production Kubernetes and OpenStack environments and handled critical incidents. My earlier network engineering work included enterprise wireless and packet-level troubleshooting.
