• Delivered infrastructure provisioning for IaaS and PaaS using Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions, integrated with
Terraform, ensuring consistency and compliance.
• Orchestrated deployment of Azure workloads, including AKS clusters, VM Scale Sets, Application
Gateway/WAF, and load balancers, to achieve multi-zone resilience.
• Managed Linux VM administration, applying hardening measures, patch cycles, and vulnerability fixes to
maintain system integrity.
• Automated configuration workflows through PowerShell scripts, Azure CLI, and IaC templates; maintained
detailed runbooks and SOPs for operational readiness.
• Built centralized observability by integrating Azure Monitor, Log Analytics (KQL), and Application Insights,
complemented with New Relic for advanced telemetry.
• Supported and enhanced CI/CD pipelines for Linux-based applications; contributed to incident resolution and root
cause analysis during on-call rotations.
• Created Power BI dashboards for resource inventory and FinOps reporting, highlighting budget summaries,
cost optimization opportunities, and allocation rules.
• Implemented cost governance strategies by setting budgets, enforcing tag-based allocation, and automating
shutdown policies, visualized insights via Power BI dashboards.
• Configured networking components (VNets, NSGs, private endpoints) and validated custom domains through
AWS Route 53, ensuring secure traffic flow and high availability.
• Oversaw lifecycle management of AKS clusters and VM images, applying upgrades and patches to keep
environments secure and current.
• Automated installation of security tools like Sentinel and One Identity on VMs; streamlined domain and OU join
processes for compliance.
• Assisted in vulnerability remediation across environments, ensuring adherence to security standards.

• Managed user tickets (ServiceNow) and production environments adhering to SLAs.
• Designed Non-Production environments(UAT) with VNets, App Gateways, VMs, and AKS; used Terraform and
Azure Portal for connectivity.
• Configured Azure Front Door and Application Gateway with WAF to strengthen security posture.
• Troubleshot issues across Linux environments and AWS-native services (EC2, EKS, S3).
• Migrated Log Analytics workspace from OMS Agent to AMA for improved telemetry.
• Executed AKS upgrades and applied security patches on VMs to maintain performance and security.
• Led migration of JIRA and Confluence from on-prem to Azure during a real DR incident to ensure continuity.
• Implemented comprehensive monitoring in New Relic (CPU, memory, disk IOPS, networking) and synthetic
checks.
• Integrated monitoring with Log Analytics to build custom logs for deeper insights.
• Used AWS CloudWatch for EC2/EKS metrics; authored custom scripts for URL health and AKS insights.
• Developed PowerShell automation to stop non-prod environments after >200 hours/month, cutting costs.
• Ensured environment uptime of ~10 hours/day using Azure Automation Accounts (Runbooks).
• Enforced tag policies in Apptio for cost tracking and allocation; consolidated SIT/UAT into single AKS cluster with
namespaces to reduce overhead.
• Maintained custom images with Splunk, McAfee, Tenable for baseline security tooling.
• Established policies to avoid Public IP usage during environment creation.

• Deployed Web Apps, VMs, SQL Databases, Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Blob Storage.
• Implemented Traffic Manager (Performance mode) for high availability of application services.
• Configured Application Gateway with end-to-end SSL; enabled AD authentication for internal portals.
• Set up SQL Geo-Replication; designed VNets/Subnets and managed Blob containers/permissions.
• Performed Blob backups using Azure CLI and AzCopy; implemented Just-In-Time (JIT) access.
• Integrated AKS with Azure AD and enabled SSO in AWS for secure access and identity management.

• Provisioned and managed Azure IaaS services, including virtual machines, VNets, and storage accounts across
development and production environments.
• Deployed and configured web applications, application gateways, and traffic managers to ensure availability and
load distribution.
• Administered Linux and Windows VMs through patching, monitoring, and basic security hardening to enhance
system reliability.
