• ➢Cloud Architecture: Led the end-to-end design and implementation of AWS and GCP architectures, emphasizing Infrastructure as Code (IAC) to ensure automated, secure, scalable, and highly available components for every environment, business unit (BU), and team.
• ➢SRE Re-architect and Contribution: As an SRE Leader, I played a pivotal role in fortifying system reliability and performance in our projects. I implemented and refined SRE principles and practices, conducting regular reliability reviews to identify and address potential points of failure proactively. Collaborating closely with development and operations teams, I established Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) for critical applications. Introducing chaos engineering practices, I systematically identified and mitigated system weaknesses before they could impact production.
• ➢CICD Transformation: Reengineered the system's architecture to introduce modern CI/CD practices for Kubernetes-based deployments. Implemented Pipeline as Code with canary deployment strategies.
• ➢Standardized Onboarding: Established and standardized new channels for Operations and Development teams, simplifying application onboarding to Kubernetes.
• ➢Centralized Logging: Created a centralized logging solution for Kubernetes-based deployments to ensure cost savings and efficient log exports.
• ➢Resource Optimization: Developed Grafana dashboards for Kubernetes deployments to optimize resource utilization, resulting in cost savings.
• ➢Cloud Connectivity: Orchestrated high-availability connections between GCP and AWS production and development environments, minimizing downtime through redundancy. ➢ ➢Kubernetes Clusters: Designed Kubernetes clusters (EKS and GKE auto-pilot) for team-based application deployment in various business units and environments.
• ➢CDN Migration: Successfully migrated our largest CDN from AWS to GCP without any downtime, resulting in cost savings and improved application performance.
