Experienced SRE & DevOps Engineer | Financial Services · Healthcare · Identity Management · Editorial Systems• I am a results-driven Site Reliability Engineer and Senior DevOps Engineer with a proven track record of designing, building, and maintaining robust infrastructure across highly regulated industries — including Financial Services, Healthcare, Identity Management, and Editorial Systems.• My passion lies in building systems that are reliable, performant, and always available — whether that means architecting CI/CD pipelines from scratch, leading cloud migrations, or embedding observability deep into the stack.• CI/CD & AutomationI have deep expertise in end-to-end CI/CD pipeline design and implementation, integrating tools like Jenkins, Maven, Ansible, RunDeck, Helm, and SonarQube to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and security through Artifactory and Nexus Repository management.• Container Orchestration & Cloud InfrastructureFrom Kubernetes, GKE, and Anthos to Nomad and Mesosphere DC/OS, I have hands-on experience managing containerized workloads at scale. On the cloud side, I work across AWS (EKS, ECS, Fargate, ECR, Route 53, S3, EBS, VPC, Pipeline) and GCP (GKE) to architect resilient, scalable infrastructure.• Observability & Monitoring I build observability into systems by design — leveraging Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, and Splunk to ensure teams have full visibility into system health, performance, and incidents before users are impacted.• Cloud MigrationsLed end-to-end OnPrem to Cloud migrations, including a full-scale transition from Mesosphere DC/OS to Anthos, with seamless monitoring integration via Dynatrace and Splunk — minimizing risk and downtime throughout.• Salesforce DevOpsHands-on experience supporting Salesforce Admin operations, streamlining deployments through SFDX and Jenkins pipelines, and configuring Einstein Analytics jobs to support business intelligence workflows.
