• Proficient in event-driven architectures with Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, and serverless solutions using AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Step Functions for microservices and batch workflows.
• Strong expertise in databases – SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra with automation for schema migration, replication, performance tuning, and high availability.
• Implemented monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk, Datadog, Application Insights, Azure Sentinel, building dashboards, custom alerts, and incident response workflows.
• Experienced in logging, security, and compliance with IAM, RBAC, TLS/mTLS, WAF, Vault, Azure Key Vault, Okta, and LDAP, ensuring HIPAA/PCI/PII compliance in production workloads.
• Hands-on expertise in networking and security automation – VPCs, VNets, subnets, load balancers, firewalls, DNS, NAT gateways, and Zero Trust implementations across multi-cloud environments.
• Developed automation scripts in Python (Boto3, SDKs), Bash, PowerShell, and Groovy, enabling auto-scaling, log management, health checks, and operational resilience.
• Proven track record in migrating legacy workloads from on-premises to AWS/Azure/GCP, modernizing .NET and Java apps into microservices, and adopting DevSecOps best practices.
• Strong Agile/Scrum collaborator, contributing to design reviews, sprint planning, release management, and mentoring junior DevOps engineers on cloud, automation, and observability.
• Experience in centralized logging, root cause analysis, and SLA compliance, conducting post-mortems, runbook documentation, and incident response automation.
• Designed and optimized hybrid/multi-cloud architectures, ensuring scalability, cost efficiency, and disaster recovery strategies across enterprise applications.
• Demonstrated leadership in code reviews, architecture discussions, technical documentation, and building reference architectures for enterprise DevOps transformations.
• Implemented enterprise GitOps workflows using ArgoCD and Flux, ensuring version-controlled, automated deployments across multiple Kubernetes clusters.
• Designed and enforced cost optimization strategies in AWS/Azure, including rightsizing, auto-scaling policies, reserved instances, and storage lifecycle rules, reducing cloud spend by ~25%.
• Developed multi-region, highly available architectures with disaster recovery (DR) and backup strategies, leveraging Route53, Traffic Manager, Cloud DNS, and Azure Site Recovery.
• Integrated security scanning tools (Aqua, Trivy, Twistlock, Clair, Anchore) into CI/CD pipelines, achieving DevSecOps compliance and preventing vulnerabilities pre-deployment.
• Experienced in API gateway management (Kong, NGINX, Apigee, AWS API Gateway) for microservices authentication, throttling, and observability.
