With 13+ years in tech and around 5 years dedicated to DevOps and DevSecOps, I specialise in building continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, automating secure, scalable and resilient infrastructure across hybrid environments—whether in the cloud or on-premise. As a DevOps/DevSecOps Tech Lead, I’m currently working closely with a global BFSI client to streamline CI/CD pipelines, integrating robust security scans automating infrastructures, and accelerating software delivery cycles. I thrive on transforming manual processes into efficient automated workflows, using tools like Jenkins, Ansible, Rundeck, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. My goal is to help organisations enhance productivity by delivering high-quality, mission-critical software with speed and precision. Prior to joining the industry, I served 8 years in academia, managing several research projects focused on cloud security and anomaly detection in collaboration with research labs and academic institutions in India, Japan and Sweden and which resulted in IEEE publications. During this time, I also mentored 150+ students in Linux administration, machine learning, and software engineering. I’m committed to continuous improvement, and I'm always eager to learn and explore new technologies that drive innovation in the DevOps/DevSecOps, Cloud, AI and Machine Learning space. Always happy to talk about DevOps and DevSecOps best practices, cloud infrastructure and automation. Feel free to reach out - whether it’s for technical conversations, collaboration, or projects.
