Associate i - Cloud Infrastructure Services and Database Engineer @UST
Trivandrum, IN
Sole Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer responsible for uptime, deployment velocity, database performance, and security posture across a 300-server multi-cloud (AWS + Azure + GCP) estate serving 50+ critical applications.Incident Response & ReliabilityIncident Commander for all P1/P2 outages — coordinated 10 cross-functional teams, reduced MTTR 30%, maintained SLA breach rate < 5%.Eliminated 25% of false-positive alerts by re-engineering LogicMonitor and Dynatrace threshold policies; removed on-call fatigue for 3 operations squads.CI/CD & Platform EngineeringBuilt GitLab CI + Azure DevOps pipelines from scratch, compressing release cycle from 4+ hours to 14 minutes with parallel stages, canary gates, and automated rollback.Automated 12 hrs/month of toil via Python/Bash service-management suite (log triage, health checks, auto-restart) deployed as systemd units.Database EngineeringCut PostgreSQL/MySQL query latency 20% through slow-query profiling, index redesign, and PgBouncer connection pooling on AWS RDS Multi-AZ.Improved application p99 response time 35% by deploying Redis Cluster caching layer across 4 microservices; reduced RDS read load 60%.Eliminated manual schema migrations by integrating Flyway into CI/CD with Terraform-snapshotted RDS safety nets — 0 data-loss incidents across 15+ releases.IaC, Cloud & SecurityMaintained 100% config-drift-free state across multi-cloud fleet with Terraform + Ansible; 0 config-related incidents in 8 months.Closed 95% of critical CVEs within SLA by embedding SAST/DAST + CIS Benchmark hardening into every pipeline gate.Freed 8 TB, boosted SAN I/O 18% via HPE Primera/3PAR tiering re-architecture and vCenter DRS tuning — delivered during live production hours.

ABOUT SHARATH M NAIR
I build the infrastructure that keeps products alive at 3 AM — and make sure they rarely need to be touched at 3 AM.As a Cloud DevOps & Database Engineer at UST Global, I own the full reliability stack: multi-cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and GCP; zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines; database performance at scale; and the war-room when things go wrong.In the past year:↓ MTTR 30% — Incident Commander for every P1/P2 on a 300-node estate, holding SLA breaches under 5%.↓ Deploy time from 4 hrs → 14 min — built GitLab CI + Azure DevOps pipelines with canary gates and automated rollback.↓ DB query latency 20%, app response time 35% — tuned PostgreSQL/MySQL on RDS + deployed Redis caching layer across microservices.Closed 95% of critical CVEs within SLA by embedding DevSecOps gates into every pipeline stage.Freed 8 TB of capacity & boosted SAN I/O 18% — zero-downtime storage re-architecture.I speak the languages infrastructure teams care about: Terraform, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), Helm, GitOps, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, PgBouncer, Flyway, and CIS Benchmarks.AZ-104 and AZ-204 certified (2025). AWS Cloud Practitioner en route. Currently deepening expertise in Aurora Serverless, DynamoDB patterns, and distributed tracing.Open to Cloud DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering roles at companies building at scale. Let’s connect.
