Hi, I’m Pravin Mali. I’m an experienced DevOps and platform engineer with a strong foundation in Linux, cloud platforms, CI/CD, container technologies, and automation. I’ve worked across different tech stacks for over 15+ years and built deep knowledge in tools and systems that help modern engineering teams run faster, safer, and more reliably. 🔧 Core Technical Skills Linux Systems & Infrastructure: Expert in managing large-scale Linux systems, performance tuning, kernel crash analysis (vmcore), and server security/hardening. I have also handled Gluster storage and HA clustering setups. Container Platforms: Skilled in Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), and Red Hat OpenShift. I’ve managed full app lifecycles on EKS and OpenShift clusters, including setup, upgrades, and troubleshooting. CI/CD & DevOps Tools: Hands-on experience with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, AWS CodeBuild, and Harness for building secure and scalable CI/CD pipelines. I’ve automated test orchestration, deployment flows, rollback logic, and integrated quality gates. Configuration & Automation: Proficient in Ansible and Ansible Tower. I’ve built infrastructure as code (IaC), automated server provisioning, and designed self-healing systems using scripts and tools. Cloud Platforms: Deep experience working with AWS, GCP, and Azure , including managing compute, networking, IAM, and observability. I’ve optimized cloud infrastructure and integrated with CI/CD systems. Programming & Scripting: Comfortable writing and debugging code in Python, Golang, and Bash. I’ve built test frameworks, monitoring scripts, and automation workflows. Monitoring & Alerts: Tools like Datadog, PagerDuty, and Zip for setting up alerts, logs, metrics, and dashboards. I ensure observability and fast incident response. Version Control & Collaboration: Strong experience using Git, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Bugzilla, and Slack for collaboration, version control, and incident tracking. Feature Flags & DX Platforms: Worked on large-scale rollout and governance of feature flags using tools like Harness FF and Split.io. I also implemented DORA metrics and DX monitoring to improve developer productivity. Security & Compliance: Familiar with SOC2 practices, server hardening, and vulnerability scanning. I’ve used tools to detect security issues early and build safe deployment pipelines. AI Tools in DevOps: Recently started exploring AI-based tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor for code generation, log analysis, and CI/CD optimization. 🛠️ Tools & Software I Use Regularly - Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP - CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, CodePipeline, Harness - Containers: Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift - Automation: Ansible, Terraform, Bash - Monitoring: Datadog, PagerDuty, DX, Zip - AI Tools: Cursor, GitHub Copilot -Versioning & Ticketing: Git, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Bugzilla - Dashboards: Amplitude, Commonroom, Harness SEI
