What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on cloud-native infrastructure reliability, automation, and incident reduction within collaborative teams offering growth and impact.

I am a Senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 12+ years managing enterprise Linux production environments and cloud infrastructure. I specialize in Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, and Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code on AWS.

I have led migrations from on-premises to AWS, built CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitLab CI, and implemented monitoring and observability using Grafana and Prometheus. I routinely handle critical incidents, perform RCA, and drive MTTR/MTTD improvements while maintaining high-availability clusters with Pacemaker.

My work emphasizes automation, reliability, and scalable deployments; I hold RHCSA and AWS Solutions Architect Associate certifications and am open to India and international opportunities, remote or relocation-ready.
