Kubernetes Orchestration & Scaling: Architected and managed multi-tenant GKE clusters for microservices platforms; implemented KEDA for event-driven autoscaling to handle unpredictable traffic spikes while ensuring high availability and seamless elasticity. Configuration Management: Standardized deployment manifests for 50+ microservices by implementing Kustomize and Helm, ensuring DRY (Dont Repeat Yourself) configurations and eliminating environment drift across dev, staging, and production. Scalable ML Inference: Engineered high-performance model serving infrastructure using KServe on Kubernetes and AWS SageMaker, automating the lifecycle from model registration to production deployment. Cost & Infrastructure Excellence: Directed cloud efficiency initiatives by implementing automated right-sizing and spot-instance orchestration via Terraform, significantly reducing monthly burn for high-compute workloads. Hybrid Cloud Architecture: Designed secure cross-cloud access patterns using AWS STS and federated IAM, enabling secure data ingestion for high-traffic IoT and healthcare microservices. Cloud Modernization (Migration): Facilitated the migration of legacy workloads from vCenter to GCP using the Migrate to Virtual Machines service, ensuring minimal downtime and stateful data integrity during the transition.

Kubernetes Foundation: Started the journey of building production-grade EKS and GKE clusters from scratch, taking ownership of cluster setup, version upgrades, and node group scaling. Infrastructure as Code: Developed and maintained Terraform scripts to ensure repeatable and consistent environments across AWS and GCP. CI/CD & Containers: Implemented GitLab CI pipelines for containerized applications, focusing on automating the build-to-deploy lifecycle. Networking & Security: Designed secure VPC architectures and implemented site-to-site VPNs to support highly available product infrastructure. Observability: Set up monitoring and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog to maintain system uptime and track platform reliability.

Cloud Migration Journey: Kicked off my career by facilitating large-scale on-prem to AWS migrations, focusing on re-hosting and re-platforming enterprise applications. AWS Core Infrastructure: Gained deep foundational knowledge in AWS Networking (VPC, Route53) and Storage, provisioning high-availability architectures to support migration strategies.
