About

As a DevOps professional with nearly 12 years of experience, I specialize in provisioning, managing, and optimizing cloud infrastructure to ensure high availability and operational excellence. With a strong focus on innovative DevOps practices, I deliver seamless environments on the AWS Cloud platform while maintaining system security and automation. My expertise spans a wide range of technologies, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Kubernetes for managing Docker containers, AWS services, and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI. I have extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (IAC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Pulumi, as well as monitoring and logging with Elasticsearch and Splunk. Additionally, I possess deep knowledge of SQL/NoSQL database management, scripting, and Hadoop/Big Data technologies (EMR, Kafka, ZooKeeper, Data Pipelines, Cloudera Manager, Flink, Yarn, CDH). Leveraging automation tools like Terraform, I am dedicated to optimizing cloud infrastructure, securing systems, and driving operational eﬃciency, consistently reflecting my commitment to excellence in cloud and DevOps solutions. I am an immediate joiner and will be able to start the next opportunity within a week.
