Sagar Sonawane — SRE (Site Reliability Engineer)

I am a technically competent IT Professional with experience of over 19+ years across SDLC, Analysis, Web Application Design/Development, Microservice and RESTFul service-based Architecture. I have always endeavoured to strive for quality and apply process and discipline towards optimising performance. I have played various roles in my tenure from UI applications and RESTful API development to architecting cloud-native applications. Recently, at Turtlemint, I have built an SRE team to deploy fully automated cloud-agnostic Kubernetes deployment. The team achieved around 20-25% savings in AWS cost and laid out a plan to achieve even more. Previously at Rediff.com, I rolled out and scaled an e-commerce site developed from scratch with MongoDB having over 7M+ books. Also, developed backend APIs for social networking applications with over 1M+ daily page views. Also, during my tenure at Mojo Networks ( acquired by Arista later ) developed PoCs for data pipelines for the enterprise applications domain having over 100GB+ datasets then majorly contributed to integrating 2 ML models anomaly detection and a classification model with the product. Also, I have contributed to developing a Python SDK for QA engineers to write automated integration tests. If you catch me outside work, I love sports, adventure treks, music, movies and reading/listening to cosmos, cutting-edge technologies etc I also like meeting new people over a cup of ocha.

Competencies: Python, AWS, GCP, SRE, DevOps, Microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Apache Kafka, RESTful APIs, PHP, MongoDB, Presto, PostgreSQL, Linux, Debugging, PySpark, Data Science, Machine Learning, Big Data, Apache Spark etc
