Experience

1. Principal Professional Devops Engineer

   Marvell Technology

   Dec 2022 — Present · Hyderabad, IN

   As a Principal DevOps Engineer at Marvell Technology, I lead the AI-driven DevOps transformation for the organization, shaping how engineering teams build, ship, and operate software at scale.I delivered GitHub Actions as the enterprise CI/CD standard - defining the organization-wide CI/CD strategy, governance framework, and executing the complete migration from Jenkins. This included designing secure, self-hosted GitHub Actions runners on Amazon EKS with hardened custom images and event-driven autoscaling to handle enterprise-grade workloads.A key initiative I\'m driving is the intersection of AI and DevOps. I built a DevOps-specific MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server and an AI-powered self-service chatbot that provides CI/CD intelligence, workflow orchestration, automated L1 triage, and ticket handling - significantly reducing manual support overhead and enabling developer self-service at scale.I also led one of the largest platform modernization efforts in the organization: migrating repositories from on-premise VCS to GitHub, including complete post-migration CI/CD stabilisation and developer onboarding.On the platform side, I own and operate production-critical AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure (EKS and on-premise) supporting CI/CD, DevOps automation, and AI workloads. Security is embedded throughout. I integrated JFrog Xray, GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS), artifact governance, and policy-driven enforcement across all pipelines.Recognized with multiple Gold and Silver awards for delivering GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, cloud-native CI/CD platforms for engineering BUs, and ongoing DevOps and AI/MCP initiatives.Key areas: CI/CD Strategy, GitHub Actions, Amazon EKS, Kubernetes, AI/LLM Enablement, MCP Server, GitHub Copilot, DevSecOps, Terraform, Platform Engineering, Large-Scale Migrations
