DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer
Jio Platforms Ltd.
- Operate 10+ production microservices on Kubernetes (EKS), owning rolling deployments, capacity planning, and the on-call rotation, improving reliability to 99.9% uptime.
- Reduced mean time to recovery by 25% by automating failure recovery and standardising incident-response runbooks, shortening on-call remediation during production outages.
- Cut mean time to detect by 30% by building Prometheus and Grafana dashboards tracking key SLIs — CPU, memory, and request latency — with 15+ threshold alerts integrated into the incident response workflow.
- Accelerated environment provisioning by 40% and eliminated config drift by designing reusable Terraform modules for AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, Lambda, EKS, RDS), enabling self-service provisioning for 3 teams.
- Reduced manual deployment effort by 50% by building end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI — automating build-test-deploy triggers on code push across dev, staging, and production — and standardised releases with Helm charts.
- Eliminated static credentials from 10+ Kubernetes workloads by configuring IRSA for pod-level AWS access, and standardised infrastructure state across 8 EC2 instances using Ansible playbooks for post-provision node configuration.
Projects
EKS Infrastructure Automation
- Provisioned a production-grade EKS cluster end-to-end — VPC, node groups, IRSA, ALB Ingress, and CloudWatch alarms — fully codified in Terraform for repeatable, one-command environment builds.
- Implemented a GitOps deployment workflow using ArgoCD, syncing Helm chart releases from Git to the EKS cluster automatically on commit.
Cloud-Native Weather Aggregator
- Containerised a Core Java service, deployed to EC2 via a Jenkins pipeline, and load-tested it; exposed a Prometheus metrics endpoint visualised on a Grafana dashboard.
