I’m a DevOps Engineer with over 4 years of experience working on CI/CD platforms, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes-based systems. I started my career at Cognizant, where I worked on the Kaiser Permanente Digital project as part of the DevSecOps team. There, I was responsible for building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, containerizing applications with Docker, and managing Kubernetes deployments on AKS. I also worked on infrastructure automation using Terraform and Helm and led the migration from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.

Currently, I’m working at TCS as a DevOps Engineer in the SDLC Jenkins team for the Davita Healthcare project. My main responsibility is managing a large-scale Jenkins platform running on Kubernetes, where each Jenkins master runs as a pod and jobs execute on dynamic container-based agents. I build and support CI/CD pipelines, manage artifact flows using JFrog Artifactory, and support cloud infrastructure on AWS, including EC2, ECR, S3, IAM, and networking. I also handle pipeline failures, platform reliability, security checks using SonarQube, and release orchestration.

Overall, my strength is building reliable CI/CD systems, troubleshooting complex pipeline and Kubernetes issues, and supporting scalable DevOps platforms in production environments. I’m currently focusing on strengthening my AWS skills and looking for opportunities where I can work on cloud-native DevOps and platform engineering.
