PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Client: Vodafone oct 2022 – sept 2023
Role: DevOps Engineer
Responsibilities:
- Deployed applications to Kubernetes cluster (EKS) using rolling deployment strategy for all
environments, including production, staging, and development, to ensure a highly available and
distributed infrastructure for the enterprise.
- Proficient in drafting and managing Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments, with experience in
integrating them into deployment pipelines to streamline the SDLC and improve efficiency.
- Successfully led the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaaC) practices within the organization,
leveraging Terraform to automate the deployment of production-grade infrastructure, resulting
in improved system availability and increased customer satisfaction.
- Skilled in configuring, managing, and utilizing monitoring systems such as Prometheus, Grafana,
and ELK to collect and analyze metrics, enabling incident resolution and troubleshooting to reduce
mean time to recovery (MTTR) significantly. Proficient in utilizing these tools to identify trends,
predict future issues, and take proactive measures to improve system availability and performance.
- Demonstrated expertise in maintaining and scaling CI/CD Jenkins servers by deploying them in
Kubernetes clusters and effectively pinning cluster resources to specific levels, resulting in a
significant reduction in the overall cost of builds. This initiative led to improved efficiency, reduced
deployment times, and increased team productivity.
- Adept in adopting a shift left mindset by collaborating closely with Quality Assurance teams to
ensure vulnerability-free and high-quality code that can seamlessly transition into production,
resulting in reduced deployment times and improved application stability.
- Developed and deployed an automated system utilizing Python, Prisma APIs, and Jenkins to track
critical alerts, significantly reducing manual effort and strengthening cloud security.
- Conducted quarterly audits to validate adherence of Prisma policies with industry-standard CIS
policies, ensuring compliance and bolstering security measures for the organization.

Client: Reuters May 2019 – Nov 2020

Role: DevOps Engineer
