About

I'm a Cloud and DevOps Engineer from Chennai, India, worked in a startup environment with 55+ developers. I focus on reliable infrastructure, CI/CD, observability and cost-efficient cloud & containerization design.

My background mixes web development, AI/3D experimentations and deep interest in Infrastructure,Linux, Kubernetes and production systems. I enjoy turning messy infrastructure into something predictable, observable and easy to ship on.

Experience

Cloud and DevOps Engineer

Startup · Chennai, India

Mar 2025 – April 2026

End-to-end ownership of Cloud and DevOps for multiple products in a fast-paced startup with 55+ developers, from IDE to production.

  • Containerized legacy bare-metal and VM-based applications, eliminating configuration drift and simplifying scaling.
  • Reduced AWS staging account bill by ~80% via cost optimization and rightsizing of resources.
  • Architected secure CDN delivery for MMU (Real Estate project) using CloudFront, signed URLs/cookies and S3 with Redis-backed caching.
  • Delivered a HIPAA-ready streaming architecture for a U.S. med school using OBS, RTMP/HLS, AWS MediaLive, S3 and CloudFront.
  • Designed and delivered a logistics automation chatbot POC that converted into a paid MVP contract, decomposed into 10 Dockerized microservices routed through Nginx and white-label DNS.
  • Scaled the POC into a production-ready MVP on GCP, integrating RAG-based PostgreSQL, Redis-backed chat state, Milvus vector search, and Kong Gateway for real-time, multi-carrier orchestration.
  • Deployed full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Promtail, cAdvisor, Node/Windows exporters) for centralized metrics and logs.
  • Implemented Jenkins CI/CD with Slack/email notifications, mobile CI/CD pipelines for Android builds, and automated SSL expiry monitoring for 30+ domains.
  • Automated EC2 → S3 backups and cross-account replication using AWS DataSync.
  • Mentored 2 interns and 2 junior engineers into DevOps roles, providing guidance on infrastructure design, CI/CD best practices and cloud cost optimization.

Python AI Developer / 3D Generalist

WORKBROW · Chennai, India

Sep 2023 – Dec 2023

Worked at the intersection of AI, automation and 3D content creation.

  • Built AI-driven image generation pipelines in Python, increasing production efficiency.
  • Created procedural 3D assets in Blender using geometry nodes and Infinigen, reducing manual modeling effort.

Key Projects

Logistics Chatbot Microservices Platform (LANC)

Architected a MVP logistics chatbot platform on GCP using a modular microservices design. Deployed containerized services on Compute Engine within a VPC, with Kong API Gateway and Cloud Load Balancing handling routing and traffic control.

Integrated PostgreSQL (Cloud SQL) as both the transactional datastore and a RAG layer (vector embeddings), Redis (Memorystore) for caching user chat history and session state, and Milvus for semantic search. Leveraged the BAAI BGE embedding model for NLP, enabling intent detection and reverse semantic search across conversations and logistics data.

Connected with external logistics providers and secured secrets using Vault, enabling scalable, real-time multi-carrier orchestration.

Christian Missionary Alliance (CMA) – Datacenter Exit & Azure Migration (Contract Secured)

Conducted the full technical assessment for CMA’s on-prem datacenter exit and Azure migration initiative. This included VM and workload discovery, dependency mapping, a 3-phase migration strategy, Azure architecture design, and detailed cost estimation across compute, storage, networking, and managed services.

Performed man-hour estimation for each migration phase and contributed to client-side cost discussions and negotiation.
Prepared client-facing technical documentation and architecture PPTs, directly enabling the successful acquisition of the migration contract.
