About

I'm a Cloud and DevOps Engineer from Chennai, India, working in a startup environment with 50+ developers. I focus on reliable infrastructure, CI/CD, observability and cost-efficient cloud & containerization design.

My background mixes web development, AI/3D experimentation and deep interest in Linux, Kubernetes and production systems. I enjoy turning messy infrastructure into something predictable, observable and easy to ship on.

Mar 2025 – Present

End-to-end ownership of cloud and DevOps for multiple products in a fast-paced startup with 50+ developers, from IDE to production.

  • Containerized legacy bare-metal and VM-based applications, eliminating configuration drift and simplifying scaling.
  • Reduced AWS staging bill by ~80% via cost optimization and rightsizing of resources.
  • Architected secure CDN delivery for MMU using CloudFront, signed URLs/cookies and S3 with Redis-backed caching.
  • Delivered a HIPAA-ready streaming architecture for a U.S. med school using OBS, RTMP/HLS, AWS MediaLive, S3 and CloudFront.
  • Designed and delivered a logistics automation chatbot POC that converted into a paid MVP contract, decomposed into 10 Dockerized microservices routed through Nginx and white-label DNS.
  • Deployed full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Promtail, cAdvisor, Node/Windows exporters) for centralized metrics and logs.
  • Implemented Jenkins CI/CD with Slack/email notifications, mobile CI/CD pipelines for Android builds, and automated SSL expiry monitoring for 30+ domains.
  • Automated EC2 → S3 backups and cross-account replication using AWS DataSync.
  • Mentored interns and a junior engineer into DevOps roles and set up a kubeadm cluster for CKA practice labs.

Key Projects

Christian Missionary Alliance (CMA) – Datacenter Exit & Azure Migration (Contract Secured)

Conducted the full technical assessment for CMA’s on-prem datacenter exit and Azure migration initiative. This included VM and workload discovery, dependency mapping, a 3-phase migration strategy, Azure architecture design, and detailed cost estimation across compute, storage, networking, and managed services.

Performed man-hour estimation for each migration phase and contributed to client-side cost discussions and negotiation.
Prepared client-facing technical documentation and architecture PPTs, directly enabling the successful acquisition of the migration contract.
