About

I’m a seasoned Infrastructure & DevOps professional with over 12 years of experience architecting, building, and maintaining scalable, cloud-native platforms. Currently working as Principal Infra Developer, I specialize in Designing and managing production-grade clusters using OpenShift & OpenShift Virtualization, Implementing GitOps pipelines (Argo CD), Git-based version control (Git), and CI/CD workflows, Monitoring, observability and performance analysis with tools like Dynatrace, ensuring reliable uptime and proactive incident management. Over my career, I have: Led multiple full-lifecycle infrastructure deployments — from design to rollout — for enterprise clients, improving deployment frequency and reducing manual interventions. Streamlined infrastructure operations and delivered consistent SLAs in high-availability environments. I’m passionate about bridging development and operations — enabling agility, automation, and resilience. I also mentor junior engineers and help foster a culture of “infrastructure as code” and automation. Feel free to connect if you’re exploring cloud-native infra solutions, Kubernetes/OpenShift ecosystems, or open to discussions around DevOps best-practices and platform engineering.
