▸Career Highlights

97.2% DR failover time reduction — automated end-to-end failover runbooks for mission-critical UPI payment services, eliminating manual handoffs and achieving near-instant recovery.

Automated infrastructure patching across 200+ EKS nodes and EC2 fleet using custom CI/CD orchestration pipelines; achieved zero-downtime patch cycles at scale.

Led the UPI migration from physical DC to AWS Cloud — architecture, networking, data, cutover, and post-migration optimizations with zero downtime and High Availability (HA) design across 50+ microservices (140M+ TPD).

Progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts (canary/experiments) + KEDA autoscaling for traffic bursts; reduced P95 latencies 30% during peak load.

Automation & IaC: Terraform, Ansible, and SaltStack; automated 90% of infrastructure provisioning; reduced incident recurrence 60%.

Security & compliance: IRSA, least-privilege IAM, TLS, CIS baselines, CSPM; achieved 25% infrastructure cost reduction through FinOps initiatives.

Hands-on with Istio, Kafka, Redis, Aerospike, Terraform, Helm, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ELK Stack, Thanos, OpenTelemetry.

Strong cross-functional leadership — mentored 5-engineer DevOps team, defined platform roadmap, influenced architecture across 6+ engineering teams.
