Razi Abbas — DevOps Engineer

I am VMware cloud Engineer & Technical Support Engineer with 3.5 years of experience specializing in VMware environments (VSphere, VCenter, ESXI) and datacenter infrastructure operations. I work extensively on VM deployment, provisioning, ESXi upgrades, BIOS/firmware updates, datastore & resource optimization, and advanced troubleshooting including snapshot failures, host disconnections, hardware alerts, and power-on issues. In my current role, I manage customer-hosted VMware environments end-to-end — ensuring uptime, resolving escalated incidents, and improving performance through capacity planning and optimization. I've also worked on HA, DRS, Motion/Storage vMotion, cluster management, RDM configuration, and performance bottleneck analysis to maintain high availability and stability. Alongside virtualization, I've built a strong foundation in Linux administration, system troubleshooting, networking fundamentals (TCP/P, DNS, DHCP), and am actively expanding into AWS & DevOps. I am preparing for AWS Solution Architect - Associate and gaining hands-on experience with EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, CI/CD fundamentals, and automation approaches. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in IT Infrastructure Systems and Security (PG-DITISS) from CDAC ACTS, Pune.I am looking for opportunities that allow me to combine my virtualization expertise with evolving DevOps methodologies—driving innovation, automation, and operational excellence. I'm now seeking opportunities where I can contribute to VMware Administration, Infra Operations, L2 Technical Support, Cloud-Infra environments, and continue growing into hybrid Virtualization roles.
