DevOps engineer with 5+ years building scalable, secure CI/CD, cloud and infrastructure automation solutions.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated DevOps engineer with over five years of hands-on experience designing, implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation and cloud environments.
At my current role I reduced AWS costs by 29% ($33,084), improved application response time from 5s to under 1.4s, and implemented ELK/APM for enhanced observability.
I have built automated CI/CD and deployment infrastructures using Docker, Jenkins, CircleCI, Kubernetes, Terraform and GitHub, and have migrated workloads to cost- and performance-optimized instances such as Graviton.
I prioritize reliability, security and automation — resolving VAPT findings, integrating WAF, implementing backup/disaster techniques and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver resilient production systems.
