Impact · Owns production-grade cloud and Kubernetes platforms with a focus on reliability, cost efficiency, secure routing, and developer velocity.

• Owned, designed and operated end-to-end cloud infrastructure (Azure) for a product domain — guaranteeing high availability and reliable production systems.
• Cut cloud spend through autoscaling, rightsizing and efficient infrastructure design.
• Built and optimised CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows (FluxCD/ArgoCD) so developers ship reliably and fast.
• Authored reusable Terraform modules — reduced infrastructure provisioning time by up to 90%.
• Designed and maintained self-hosted GitLab infrastructure with Ansible, automating configuration and improving reliability.
• Operated Kubernetes clusters (AKS/EKS) — scalability, performance, reliability of production workloads.
• Implemented network and security policies with Cilium — improved traffic control and cluster security posture.
• Stood up monitoring and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) — measurably reduced MTTR.
• Applied SRE practices (SLIs/SLOs, incident response) — reduced downtime, improved reliability.
• Implemented Azure VPN and firewall solutions — secure client access and network isolation.
• Designed and managed Traefik reverse proxy across 5+ Kubernetes clusters — routing 300+ services and customer-facing applications.

Impact · Helped startups and learning platforms move faster with Terraform modules, Kubernetes migrations, CI/CD, monitoring, and cost controls.

• Built modular Terraform libraries enabling rapid provisioning of secure, reproducible staging environments for startups.
• Worked with AWS (EKS, EC2, S3) in multi-cloud environments to deploy and manage containerised workloads.
• Accelerated cloud migrations by containerising legacy Python/Django apps and Open edX services for Kubernetes on GCP.
• Improved platform reliability for digital learning environments via GitLab CI/CD and proactive Prometheus/Grafana monitoring.
• Cut infrastructure costs through resource quotas, autoscaling and spot instances in multi-tenant environments.
• Improved developer productivity by standardising local dev environments with Docker and Tutor.
• Hardened security and compliance — encrypted secrets, Network Policies, automated vulnerability scanning for sensitive educational data.

End-to-end infrastructure automation and cloud migrations for startups and SMEs.

Impact · Delivered practical infrastructure automation, cloud migrations, CI/CD, and containerisation for early-stage teams and small businesses.

• Migrated legacy on-premise workloads to AWS/GCP — 30% reduction in operational cost and improved DR.
• Designed scalable CI/CD pipelines for diverse client projects — reduced manual deployment effort by 60%+.
• Built modular Terraform IaC libraries — clients provisioned full staging environments in minutes, not days.
• Containerised monolithic applications with Docker — simplified workflows and ensured dev-to-prod parity.
• Hardened cloud security for early-stage startups — IAM least-privilege, encrypted storage, automated backups.
