View experience details

Engineering Focus: Azure · AKS · Kubernetes · Terraform · Helm · Azure DevOps · Python · Linux · Istio · Prometheus · Grafana · Mimir · Loki · KEDA

My work spans Azure and AKS infrastructure, Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes and Helm, Azure DevOps CI/CD, service mesh, autoscaling, networking, secrets and certificate management.

I also work across production reliability and platform operations—building Python-based automation, improving observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Mimir, Loki and Azure Monitor, and troubleshooting issues across Kubernetes, ingress, networking, applications and cloud infrastructure.

A significant part of the role involves improving reusable infrastructure patterns, platform standards and operational consistency, while evaluating cloud-native technologies through technical investigations and POCs.

Tata Consultancy Services

Senior SysOps Engineer

Linux → AWS → Automation → DevOps

My time at TCS marked the transition from traditional Linux infrastructure engineering into AWS cloud engineering, infrastructure automation and DevOps.

2016 — 2021Bengaluru, India

View experience details

Engineering Focus: AWS · Linux · Ansible · Jenkins · Terraform · CloudFormation · EC2 · Auto Scaling · EFS · PostgreSQL · Route 53 · CI/CD

Worked on large-scale migration of Linux server environments from on-premises infrastructure to AWS and automated recurring operational workflows using Ansible and Jenkins.

Built automation for Tomcat maintenance during payroll cycles, vulnerability remediation, password rotation, Linux repository management and the recurring creation of multiple custom AWS AMI variants.

Designed and deployed AWS application infrastructure for Jira and Confluence, incorporating scalable application nodes, PostgreSQL, shared storage, load balancing, DNS and CDN capabilities for availability and performance.

Expanded further into Infrastructure as Code using AWS CloudFormation and Terraform to create reusable and standardized cloud infrastructure.

NTT DATA

Senior Linux Engineer

Built my core production Linux engineering experience working as an L2 Linux Engineer supporting enterprise infrastructure.

2013 — 2016Bengaluru, India

View experience details

Engineering Focus: Linux · RHEL/CentOS · Apache · Tomcat · nginx · DNS · IBM Tivoli Netcool · Production Operations

Responsible for operating system installation and upgrades, Linux troubleshooting, server provisioning and decommissioning, and day-to-day administration across production environments.

Worked with Linux services and infrastructure including user administration, DNS, Apache, Tomcat and nginx, while monitoring systems using IBM Tivoli Netcool and responding to operational incidents based on severity.

This role established the Linux and production troubleshooting foundation that later became central to my cloud, DevOps and platform engineering work.

Samagra Info Solutions

Linux System Administrator

Started my IT infrastructure career managing Linux, macOS and Windows systems and supporting development environments.
