I possess over 11 years of experience solving complex infrastructure problems for new-age startups across Analytics, AI, ML, big data, and digital solutions. I have experience managing end-to-end IT infrastructure and CloudOps initiatives. In my most recent role, I built a cloud and DevOps engineering team from the ground up, starting with defining the team's mission and vision, establishing hiring criteria, and selecting the right tools and technologies to support our operations. I collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to develop and implement cloud strategies that aligned with business goals and user needs. I am responsible for architecting cloud-native applications and resilient infrastructure. I am a specialized and certified solutions architect professional in AWS (Amazon Web Services). I design applications and services which are well equipped with Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability. I strive for efficiency through the automation of manual infrastructure processes. I have an insatiable craving for making applications /infra more consistent and reliable over time. I work with a bunch of developers for app deployment, configuration management, and orchestration of IT infrastructure. I also conduct technical research and development to enable continuous innovation within the infrastructure and I educate internal teams on best practices and industry standards.
