Davinder Pal Singh — Senior Software Engineer

I am a dedicated and experienced Software Engineer with a strong background in infrastructure creation, automation, and cloud technologies. Currently, I work as a Software Engineer III at Walmart Global Tech India, where I play a pivotal role in enhancing the infrastructure and deployment processes for Sams Club. In my current role, I have built a powerful tool for infrastructure creation by developing Terraform modules for Azure and GCP. These modules have been adopted across the entire Sams Club organisation, enabling efficient and consistent infrastructure deployment. In addition to infrastructure development, I have demonstrated my skills in creating intuitive user interfaces. I have designed and implemented a new UI for Alertgator configuration, allowing seamless management of GCP Alert Policies. Leveraging NextJS, I successfully integrated authentication methods from the NextJS application to GCP, enhancing security and user experience. Furthermore, I have developed user-friendly UIs for editing and deleting resources, integrating them seamlessly with the backend APIs. During my time as a Software Engineer at Cisco Systems, I made significant contributions to database deployment automation, reducing deployment time by 80% through effective Python and shell scripting. I built comprehensive pipelines that integrated code from GitHub, utilized Jenkins for deployment to EC2 instances via SSM documents, and leveraged cloudwatch logs for monitoring and status retrieval. Additionally, I packaged microservices using Helm Chart (v3) and deployed them seamlessly using Jenkins pipelines. I also developed Microk8s-based environments for local testing, providing developers with reliable and efficient testing platforms. I began my journey in the software industry as a Software Engineering Intern at Cisco Systems, where I worked on exciting projects such as enhancing the LogParser Tool and developing the chatbot PATS (Paas App Troubleshooting System) for Cisco Spark (Webex Teams). With a passion for innovation and a drive for excellence, I am committed to leveraging my expertise in infrastructure creation, automation, and user interface development to drive impactful solutions and contribute to the success of future projects.
