DevOps Lead
IAMOPS
- Standardize platform operations across 6 GCP environments (Dev, QA, Staging, UAT, Pre-Prod, Production), ensuring deployment consistency, security compliance, and operational reliability.
- Oversee 10 production GKE clusters, optimizing node pools, autoscaling, workload scheduling, ingress configuration, Kubernetes upgrades, and resource allocation supporting 10+ production microservices.
- Spearheaded onboarding of 4 enterprise customers into the Tier-1 NOC by establishing Datadog monitoring, alert routing, escalation policies, and operational runbooks for production support.
- Transitioned a production Kafka cluster from self-managed brokers to Google Managed Kafka, simplifying operations, accelerating upgrades, and improving platform reliability.
- Enforced Kubernetes operational standards across 10 production clusters by implementing resource quotas, taints/tolerations, Pod Disruption Budgets, Network Policies, and Horizontal Pod Autoscalers.
- Resolved production Kafka incidents supporting 10+ event-driven microservices, troubleshooting consumer lag, broker failures, replication bottlenecks, and application connectivity issues.
- Orchestrated GitOps deployments through ArgoCD across 10 Kubernetes clusters, enabling declarative, version-controlled, and zero-downtime application releases.
- Strengthened cloud security across 6 GCP environments by implementing Cloud Armor, Cloud Shield, AWS Security Hub, DDoS protection, rate limiting, and CIS compliance monitoring.
- Operate CrowdStrike Falcon across 100+ Linux servers while maintaining a Falcon + Ansible patching pipeline with pre/post-patch validation, achieving 100% fleet coverage.
- Led production incident response for 4 enterprise customers, performing root-cause analysis and preventive improvements to consistently achieve customer SLA targets.
DevOps Engineer
IAMOPS
- Administered Terraform Cloud across 100+ workspaces spanning 7 environments, standardizing variables, enforcing Sentinel policies, and governing multi-team infrastructure deployments.
- Engineered reusable Terraform modules for AWS Firewall Manager (FMS), centralizing WAF policy distribution and security-group governance across multiple AWS accounts.
- Established AWS Security Hub by integrating GuardDuty, Inspector, and Macie with continuous findings ingestion and Lambda-based remediation for critical CIS benchmark violations.
- Configured AWS Shield Advanced together with AWS WAF custom rules to protect CloudFront distributions and Application Load Balancers against Layer-7 DDoS attacks.
- Deployed GCP Cloud Armor Adaptive Protection for production GKE workloads behind Network Load Balancers, enabling IP reputation filtering, adaptive request inspection, and intelligent rate limiting.
- Built production-grade ECS CI/CD pipelines supporting multiple production services with intelligent rollback capabilities, health verification, Slack notifications, and isolated pull-request preview environments.
- Consolidated 40+ Lambda functions into a unified Serverless Framework repository, simplifying platform maintenance while accelerating disaster recovery deployments.
- Developed proactive FinOps monitoring using AWS Lambda, SNS, Cost Explorer, and MongoDB Atlas alerts to identify cloud-spending anomalies before impacting budgets.
- Executed a zero-downtime production domain migration using weighted Route53 routing, CloudFront updates, SSL certificate rotation, ALB reconfiguration, and IAM role migration.
- Hardened an on-premise ML infrastructure supporting GPU workloads by implementing VPN-only connectivity, CrowdStrike Falcon, firewall segmentation, and secure SSH authentication controls.
