Zoho Corporation
- Architected and managed Global Edge infrastructure spanning APAC, EU, Middle East, US, and China regions, ensuring compliance with region-specific regulatory requirements.
- Reduced global latency by 18% by deploying compute resources at submarine cable landing points and implementing Intelligent DNS-based geographic routing.
- Reduced bandwidth costs by 30% by conducting a thorough evaluation of alternative cloud vendors across regions and onboarding best-fit providers, replacing single-vendor dependency with a cost-optimized multi-cloud strategy.
- Managed day-to-day operations of production Kubernetes clusters (EKS & KOPS), including node scaling, rolling updates, pod scheduling, health monitoring, and incident response, sustaining 99.99% uptime SLA.
- Automated provisioning of 120+ cloud and on-premises VMs using Terraform, cutting deployment time by 2x while reducing cloud expenditure by 25% through right-sizing and reserved capacity planning.
- Strengthened endpoint security across all managed instances by deploying CrowdStrike Falcon, enforcing automated key rotations, periodic security audits, and bastion host access controls.
- Reduced MTTR by 50% by diagnosing production bottlenecks, optimizing network configurations, and automating playbook - driven incident response.
- Eliminated 30% of manual operational toil by developing Python and Bash automation scripts for routine cloud management, patching, and compliance tasks.
- Built and maintained Mail Search data pipelines leveraging Kafka for high-throughput message queuing and Hadoop for distributed data processing at scale.
Projects
Cloud-Native E-Commerce Platform on AWS EKS
View Project- Architected and deployed a production-grade, highly available e-commerce application on AWS EKS, automating 100% of infrastructure, network topology, and cluster provisioning using Terraform and Docker.
- Implemented AWS EBS CSI Driver for dynamic persistent volume provisioning; integrated OpenEBS synchronous replication for cross-node fault tolerance, ensuring zero data loss during pod evictions and node migrations.
- Deployed Karpenter for real-time, demand-driven EC2 node provisioning based on pending pod requirements, significantly improving cluster resource efficiency and reducing scale-up latency.
- Built a centralized observability pipeline using the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana); configured automated Slack alerts for log anomaly detection, enabling instant incident notification and ticket creation.
Phone Book Application, Full-Stack Deployment & Monitoring on AWS
View Project- Provisioned end-to-end AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, Security Groups, IAM roles) using Terraform, achieving full environment reproducibility.
- Deployed frontend and backend services as Kubernetes pods on a KOPS cluster with HPA configured for automatic horizontal scaling under variable load.
- Built Jenkins CI/CD pipelines integrating SonarQube static analysis, Docker image builds, ECR push, and automated Kubernetes rollouts for both application tiers.
- Configured Prometheus metrics collection and Grafana dashboards for real-time observability; exposed services via ELB with custom domain routing through Route 53.
