Cloud Infrastructure and Automation for a Stock Market Company Built and managed the end-to-end cloud infrastructure for a Stock Market Company using AWS and Kubernetes. Automated deployment processes with Terraform, Ansible, and GitLab CI, ensuring faster, secure, and resilient application delivery. Implemented robust monitoring systems with Grafana, Prometheus, and Alert Manager, enabling real-time issue detection. The project also included the setup of logging and analytics pipelines using ElasticSearch, Filebeat, and Kafka to support critical financial operations.
Multi-Datacenter Bare-Metal Provisioning Platform Designed and led the implementation of a platform to manage the lifecycle of over 50,000 bare-metal servers across multiple datacenters. The project introduced advanced provisioning automation, real-time monitoring, and Site Reliability Engineering practices to improve uptime and simplify operations.
Kafka Node Automation Tool Developed a robust tool in Golang to automate Kafka node scaling, replacement, and rolling restarts, ensuring operations were safe, efficient, and downtime was minimized. This tool optimized maintenance processes and significantly reduced restart times for large, distributed Kafka clusters.
Pioneering Engineer for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure As one of the pioneer engineers behind Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, I contributed to building foundational libraries that integrated Terraform for seamless infrastructure automation. I worked closely with customers to onboard them onto the platform, addressing unique requirements and developing custom scripts to implement missing infrastructure features, ensuring a smooth and reliable transition to Oracle's cloud solutions.
