Sr. Infrastructure | Release | DevOps Engineer – Network Automation

Feb 2022 – Jan 2025 · 2 yrs 11 mos · Remote

I lead Network Automation initiatives to enhance the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), driving efficiency and reliability across development and deployment processes. My expertise includes designing and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and ArgoCD, enabling seamless software delivery and deployment. I oversee deployment management, release cycles, and Continuous Delivery (CD) processes to ensure smooth code changes and artifact updates. Proficient in Bitbucket and Git, I manage repositories effectively and foster collaborative development workflows.
In addition, I provide support and management for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, cloud-based infrastructure, and various applications related to Network Services, including load balancing and IP Services Automation (DNS, DHCP, and IPAM – IPSA Automation). I architect, deploy, and maintain infrastructure across Dev, UAT, and Production environments, ensuring compliance and security standards are met through network segmentation across DMZ, Test Net, and Secure Production environments.
As part of my responsibilities, I oversee the release engineering process, coordinating releases across multiple environments (Dev, QA, Pre-Prod, and Production) to ensure reliable and timely application delivery. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including development, QA, and operations, to maintain smooth deployment processes. I also support development teams by providing infrastructure solutions, automation, and monitoring, ensuring their continuous integration and deployment processes run efficiently. Acting as a technical liaison between infrastructure, release, and development teams, I facilitate collaboration and alignment.
