Devops Engineer
May 2024 – Present
Tech Stack: Azure, AKS, Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Groovy, Helm, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Key Vault, Qualys, Splunk, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis
  • Designed and implemented standardized CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions for multiple microservices teams, improving release reliability and maintainability across environments.
  • Migrated legacy Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions by converting Groovy logic into reusable GitHub workflow templates, reducing pipeline maintenance overhead and streamlining developer onboarding.
  • Adopted GitOps with Argo CD and Helm charts on AKS to enable declarative deployments, automated rollbacks, and faster recovery processes for production services.
  • Automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks for AKS clusters, Azure VMs, and networking, ensuring repeatable environment creation and consistent configurations.
  • Integrated security and secrets management using Azure Key Vault, Managed Identities, and RBAC, and embedded Qualys vulnerability scanning into CI pipelines to eliminate hardcoded credentials and enforce compliance.
  • Operated AKS clusters and application workloads with autoscaling, ingress-based load balancing and blue-green deployment patterns while improving observability using Splunk and Azure Monitor for faster incident response.
