About

I'm a DevOps Engineer and Cloud Infrastructure Specialist with 8+ years of experience designing, implementing, and optimizing scalable systems across GCP, AWS, and OpenStack. My expertise lies in building high-performance architectures supporting 200M+ concurrent users, streamlining deployment processes by 90%, and driving cloud cost reductions by 30%. Currently, I'm leading transformative cloud infrastructure projects for JioCinema (Viacom18), where I redesigned the entire JioCinema infrastructure from the ground up on GCP, enabling it to support 50M+ concurrent users during IPL 2024 with zero downtime. I spearheaded the migration of 220+ services from legacy infrastructure to GCP, implementing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines, and optimized resource scaling—resulting in enhanced security, efficiency, and developer productivity. Previously, at Rakuten India, I built a highly cost-effective observability platform, improved CI/CD efficiency by 50%, and deployed resilient Kubernetes infrastructures on GKE and EKS. At Reliance JIO, I developed automated monitoring systems and optimized OpenStack environments, ensuring high availability and streamlined operations. Certified as a Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and OpenStack Administrator (COA), I'm passionate about enhancing developer experience, improving cloud resilience, and mentoring teams to build enterprise-grade solutions. Let’s connect to discuss how I can help you build scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient cloud systems!!
