    Architected and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps. Designed and managed robust CI/CD workflows for .NET, Python, Drupal, and Next.js applications using Azure DevOps pipelines. Automated build, test, containerization, security scans (SonarQube), and multi-stage deployments with rollback mechanisms. Managed Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Deployed and managed scalable workloads on AKS using Helm charts. Configured services like Ingress, Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA), readiness/liveness probes, and created scheduled CronJobs for data sync and batch processes. Ensured zero-downtime deployments with readiness checks and rolling upgrades. Implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform. Used Terraform to automate provisioning of Azure infrastructure including virtual machines, VNet, subnets, network security groups, AKS clusters, Key Vault, and managed identities. Handled state remotely and structured modules for reusable, environment-specific deployments (DEV, UAT, PROD). Full Setup of Azure AD and Azure AD B2C. Handled containerization with Docker. Created optimized Dockerfiles for .NET and Python applications, including use of custom base images and multi-stage builds. Managed private image repositories in Azure Container Registry (ACR) and ensured image security and versioning best practices. Monitored infrastructure and application health using Datadog. Set up Datadog dashboards and alerts for key performance metrics (CPU, memory, disk I/O) and service-level monitoring using Kubernetes tags (team, env, service). Integrated container logs using Fluent Bit and used custom annotations to troubleshoot application behavior in production. Maintained secure and reliable DevOps environments. Enforced security across pipelines, clusters, and resources. Configured Azure Key Vault with CSI driver integration in AKS, enabled firewall rules and access policies. Managed VPN access using Pritunl for secure internal-only API access and restricted SSH/portal usage with NSGs and bastion hosts. Led troubleshooting and optimization efforts. Investigated and resolved complex production issues including memory/CPU bottlenecks, pod crash loops, slow image uploads, and Helm upgrade timeouts. Optimized readiness/liveness probes, horizontal scaling policies, and backend connectivity to improve system performance. Owned end-to-end DevOps responsibilities in a hands-on role. Solely managed all aspects of DevOps for multiple projects across different environments. Served as the central point of contact for developers and QA teams. Delivered reliable deployments, proactive monitoring, and rapid issue resolution, enabling faster release cycles and high availability.
