years of professional experience
DevOps engineer with 6+ years of progressive experience, from RHEL operations to senior ownership of Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and secure CI/CD. Delivered production platforms across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments; evaluated GCP for new workloads. Leads reliability and incident response across engineering teams.
Work History
Senior DevOps Engineer
2 Years 8 Months- Lead the platform roadmap for 18 production services, aligning reliability, security, and release requirements across engineering teams.
- Designed reusable Terraform modules for AWS and Azure networking, compute, and access controls across three environments; added plan reviews and drift checks so new application environments followed the same security baseline without repeated manual setup.
- Standardized EKS and AKS deployments with Helm, ingress rules, probes, autoscaling, and rollback procedures for application teams.
- Introduced Argo CD for Git-managed configuration, replacing manual cluster edits with reviewed, auditable releases.
- Redesigned 14 GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines with test, image-scan, and approval gates; shortened deployment time by 35%.
- Evaluated GKE, Compute Engine, and GCP networking against existing AWS and Azure options for workload placement and support cost.
- Designed private connectivity and DNS patterns between cloud and on-premises systems, documenting routing, firewall dependencies, and failure paths before production changes.
- Led RHEL hardening and patch strategy, including SELinux troubleshooting, baseline validation, and urgent vulnerability response.
- Replaced stored pipeline secrets with managed vault access and short-lived identities; tightened Kubernetes and cloud RBAC.
- Built Prometheus and Grafana service dashboards and tuned alerts; reduced incident detection time by 30% against the prior quarter.
- Designed multi-zone failover checks, load-balancer health policies, and capacity thresholds for business-critical services.
- Ran quarterly restore tests for application data and deployment configuration; closed recovery gaps through revised runbooks.
- Directed high-severity incident response, coordinating application, network, and security teams through containment and restoration; used incident timelines and telemetry to identify recurring failure patterns and assign tested corrective actions.
- Established deployment standards for container image provenance, dependency scanning, and release approvals, giving product teams a consistent path from commit to production.
- Mentored four engineers through Kubernetes and Terraform reviews; right-sized underused cloud resources to lower monthly spend by 18%.
DevOps Engineer
1 Year 3 Months- Owned build and release workflows for 10 services, from commit validation through artifact publishing and production promotion.
- Built 12 Jenkins and GitLab CI pipelines with automated tests, approval gates, and repeatable rollback stages.
- Standardized Dockerfiles, image tagging, and Helm values to reduce configuration drift between environments.
- Deployed Kubernetes workloads with health probes, resource limits, secrets, and namespace access controls.
- Provisioned Azure VNets, virtual machines, storage, and IAM through Terraform, reducing environment setup from two days to four hours.
- Authored Ansible roles for RHEL package baselines, service configuration, and scheduled patch preparation.
- Secured administrative access with Azure Bastion, network security groups, and reviewed firewall rules.
- Created Bash and Python checks for deployment validation, disk usage, and log collection, reducing recurring manual checks.
- Centralized application logs and added Grafana dashboards linking releases with error and latency trends.
- Implemented release smoke checks and health-based rollback criteria for customer-facing services, reducing the time needed to identify a faulty deployment and return to the prior version.
- Integrated image scanning and secret handling into CI workflows and worked with developers on priority findings.
- Participated in on-call response, diagnosing Linux, network, and application failures and documenting incident timelines.
- Coordinated backup verification and migration rehearsals with application and database teams; maintained release runbooks.
Associate Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
2 Years 9 Months- Joined the cloud operations team as a graduate hire, resolving supervised Linux, Windows, and infrastructure tickets.
- Provisioned EC2 instances, EBS volumes, and S3 buckets from approved requests, checking tags, access, and backups.
- Assisted with Azure VM and VNet configuration, connectivity tests, and handover documentation.
- Helped inventory VMware-hosted servers and map their dependencies before approved cloud migration and retirement work.
- Administered RHEL users, permissions, packages, and systemd services across a fleet of 30+ servers.
- Supported patch windows by preparing change records, validating application services, and recording exceptions.
- Triaged CloudWatch and server alerts for disk, CPU, memory, and availability before escalating complex incidents.
- Wrote Bash health-check scripts and simple Python log summaries to reduce repetitive support work.
- Learned Ansible through supervised RHEL configuration changes, validating package and service settings in a test environment before rollout.
- Helped maintain Jenkins jobs and Git configuration, learning build, test, and deployment handoffs.
- Verified backup jobs and joined supervised restore exercises, documenting steps that needed correction.
- Progressed to secondary on-call support, investigating DNS, firewall, and host issues and updating runbooks.
