I own the path from commit to production — building and operating cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes for high-traffic platforms in regulated industries, and now extending it with model pipelines and AI-driven operations.
Experience
DevOps Engineer · RailEurope
Sep 2025 — Present- Own CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions across 8 microservices, shipping 3–5 production deployments per week to AWS EKS with zero manual gate approvals.
- Lead incident response and root-cause analysis — triaging in Opsgenie, correlating Prometheus and Grafana signals, and cutting MTTR by 40% against the inherited baseline.
- Hold a 99.9% uptime SLA for raileurope.com through layered observability across ELK and CloudWatch.
- Provision infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, replacing ad-hoc changes with version-controlled, peer-reviewed IaC.
DevOps Engineer · FynTune Solutions
Apr 2023 — Aug 2025- Built AWS staging and production from scratch and wired them into Jenkins CI/CD, replacing manual SSH deployments with push-button releases.
- Containerized monolithic insurance apps with Docker and migrated them to AWS EKS for platforms including paytminsurance.co.in and bajajcapitalinsurance.com.
- Built observability from zero (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), cutting time-to-detect for regressions from hours to minutes.
- Cut deployment time by 60% by moving release steps into Terraform-managed infrastructure and Ansible playbooks.

End-to-End MLOps Pipeline — Churn Prediction
A full model lifecycle on free, open-source tooling: MLflow experiment tracking and registry, a CI quality gate that blocks weak models, containerized FastAPI serving on Kubernetes, and Evidently drift monitoring wired to auto-open a retraining ticket. Reached ROC-AUC 0.87 on the served model.
AIOps Sentinel
AI-augmented GitOps pipeline: an LLM reviews security scans on every PR, and a k8sgpt-based copilot turns Prometheus alerts into plain-English root cause.
GitOps Pipeline with ArgoCD
Every Kubernetes change flows through a Git PR — full audit trail, one-click rollback, and a reusable Helm library that onboards a new service in under an hour.
CI/CD + Monitoring Stack
A Jenkins pipeline with automated Docker builds, Kubernetes rollouts, and failure-triggered rollback, instrumented end to end with Prometheus and Grafana.
