Throughout my career, I have excelled in building and leading teams to develop, automate, maintain, and secure large-scale cloud applications from the ground up. My expertise lies in implementing effective change processes and optimizing infrastructure costs. In my current role as Lead DevOps Engineer at Hyperloop One (formerly Virgin Hyperloop) in Bangalore, I have successfully designed and implemented the entire infrastructure on AWS using GitLab and ArgoCD.

Notably, I have achieved a 40% cost reduction through the introduction of various automation and a vigilant approach. In my previous roles, such as Lead DevOps Engineer at Rupeek Fintech Pvt.

I also implemented Single Sign-On (SSO) using LDAP and defined infrastructure standards across various fronts. As a Principal DevOps Engineer at Freecharge Payment Technologies Pvt. Ltd., I spearheaded the implementation of Kubernetes (EKS, Istio, EFK) and led efforts in security fixes, including WAF implementation, networking fixes, and more. My experience also extends to process streamlining, automation, and the implementation of SIEM using ElasticStack. My skill set includes proficiency in Ansible, Python, Shell scripting, Jenkins, Bitbucket, Jira, Artifactory, Maven, SonarQube, Zabbix, Grafana, ElasticStack, AWS, CI/CD, version control (CVS, SVN, Git), and expertise in various technologies including Java, Spring, Hibernate, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Docker, Elasticsearch, and more. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science from Raj Kumar Goel Institute of Technology (Ghaziabad) and have consistently demonstrated my commitment to professional development and innovation, as showcased by my participation in and winning of the Freecharge Hackathon.
