About

🚀 DevOps Engineer | Site Reliability | Cloud Infrastructure | Automation Specialist I’m a DevOps engineer with 8+ years of experience architecting, automating, and scaling cloud-native infrastructure across OCI, AWS, and GCP. Currently at Oracle, I work on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Metadata Service, supporting enterprise data discovery and governance at scale. Previously at Zynga and LTI Mindtree, I delivered high-performance infrastructure, CI/CD systems, and SRE practices across dynamic, high-traffic environments. 🛠️ Core Tech Stack: Cloud & IaC: OCI DevOps Toolset, Terraform, Packer, GitHub Actions Containers: Kubernetes, Podman, Docker Languages: Golang, Python, Bash Tooling: Jira, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Vault ☁️ Cloud Platforms: Oracle Cloud (OCI), AWS, GCP 🔁 Domains: CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, DevSecOps, Container Orchestration, Observability, SRE I specialize in designing resilient, scalable systems that support continuous delivery, security compliance, and operational excellence. I'm passionate about mentoring teams, streamlining developer workflows, and promoting cloud-native best practices. Outside of work, I share DevOps and personal finance insights through my blog LearnedOps and am building an open-source tool called LevelUpOps to empower DevOps engineers with guided automation workflows. 💡 Always learning, always building — from OCI pipelines to container-first workflows.
