About Molika Garg

DevOps & Cloud enthusiast with 10+ years of hands-on experience helping organizations scale smartly, ship faster, and build resilient infrastructure in the cloud.I\'ve led DevOps transformations for global teams and mentored engineers to think DevOps-first, most recently at Ernst & Young (EY).I specialize in architecting scalable DevOps pipelines and automating cloud infrastructure—primarily in Microsoft Azure—using tools like Terraform, ARM templates, and scripting with PowerShell. I’ve built and managed CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment times by 40% through streamlined CI/CD pipelines and robust automation and slashed release cycles by 50%.I thrive in roles where I can both architect solutions and lead the teams that bring them to life.I\'m hands-on with tools like Azure DevOps, Terraform, GitHub, Docker, and Kubernetes, GCP and I’ve delivered multi-region, highly available infrastructures using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles.Leveraging GenAI tools (think ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude 3.7) to streamline DevOps workflows like auto-generating deployment scripts, accelerating issue resolution, AI can level up productivity for entire teams.My strength lies in bridging the gap between development and operations, and bringing clarity and structure to complex systems—without losing sight of performance, cost, or security.Tools & Technologies:Cloud Platforms: Microsoft Az, GCPCI/CD: Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, JFrog ArtifactoryContainerization: Docker, KubernetesIDEs: Visual Studio, Visual Studio CodeOS: Windows, Linux/UbuntuGenAI Tools: ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, Gemini, Claude 3.7, NapkinRelease Management, Azure DevOps, TerraformSCM: GIT, GitHub, Azure ReposScripting: PowerShell, Bash, PythonDatabases: Az Data Lake, Databricks, SQL, SynapseProcess & Methodologies: Agile, DevOps I am open to collaboration and opportunities that align with my expertise and interests. Whether it\'s contributing to your company\'s success, mentoring emerging DevOps talent, or sharing industry insights, I am eager to engage. If you’re looking for someone who thrives on automation, loves solving infrastructure puzzles, and enjoys driving innovation at the intersection of cloud and DevOps—I’d love to connect.For insights or collaborations in the Azure DevOps realm, feel free to reach out. g••••••••@gmail.com
