About Sumit Thelkar

DevOps Engineer with 3.5+ years of experience in designing, automating, and managing scalable cloud infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I specialize in building efficient, secure, and highly automated systems that enable faster, more reliable software delivery in enterprise environments.My core expertise lies in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Bicep, along with designing and managing CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions. I have hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE), enabling scalable and resilient application deployments.At Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), I work on end-to-end Azure infrastructure automation integrated with ServiceNow workflows, automating the complete lifecycle from request intake to fully configured resource provisioning. I design reusable templates, build orchestration logic, and automate post-provisioning activities such as domain join, monitoring agent installation, and patch management, ensuring consistency and efficiency across deployments.Previously at HCLTech, I focused on delivering large-scale cloud automation solutions on Azure and GCP. I implemented Terraform-based infrastructure provisioning, reducing deployment time by 60%, and built CI/CD pipelines to streamline application delivery. I also worked on monitoring and observability using Azure Monitor and GCP Monitoring, enabling proactive issue detection and performance optimization. Additionally, I managed automated patching and vulnerability assessments for 90+ systems, reducing security incidents by 30% and manual effort by 70%.I have contributed to multiple enterprise projects including GCP Landing Zone implementation using Hub & Spoke architecture, sandbox environments for secure experimentation, and Azure automation solutions integrated with ServiceNow. My work focuses on scalability, security, cost optimization, and adherence to best practices in cloud and DevOps.I am certified in both Azure and Google Cloud and continuously upskill in areas like Kubernetes, cloud security, and advanced DevOps practices. I enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, optimizing systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact solutions.Key Skills: Terraform, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bicep, Cloud Monitoring, IAM, Networking, DevOps Automation.
