about_me
System Operator Profile
I am a DevOps professional based in Pune, Maharashtra. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from JSPM's Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering (Dec 2021 - June 2025).
My focus is on deploying and monitoring production-grade microservices and maintaining high system availability. Whether it's cutting deployment times by 85% with automated pipelines, managing Kubernetes traffic via NGINX Ingress, or securing AWS environments, my goal is to bridge the gap between development and resilient operations.
experience
DevOps / Kubernetes Intern
Engineered automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Terraform, cutting deployment time from 3+ hours to under 15 minutes. Managed production AWS EKS clusters hosting 6 microservices, configuring NGINX Ingress for high availability. Executed zero-downtime rolling cluster upgrades and deployed the ELK Stack to reduce incident identification to under 20 minutes.
Provisioned complete AWS environments (EC2, RDS, ElastiCache) in under 30 minutes via Terraform. Configured private subnets and security groups to enforce zero direct database exposure, gating admin access through Bastion Hosts.
Linux / DevOps Student Intern
Administered RHEL systems covering SELinux policies, firewalld, and LVM storage in a production-like environment. Deployed containerized workloads using Podman and Docker, and automated workflows via Bash scripting, Jenkins, and Ansible playbooks.

deployments
MERN Stack Deployment on AWS EKS
Provisioned a production-ready EKS cluster spanning multiple AZs using modular Terraform. Deployed a full MERN stack with ConfigMaps and Services, configuring Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPA) for traffic spikes. Integrated the ELK Stack for centralized log aggregation and rapid bottleneck identification.
Multi-Tier Flask Application
Containerized a Flask web application with a MySQL backend. Defined a multi-container environment via Docker Compose, configuring networking, volume mounts, and testing parity.
Apache Web Server Automation
Automated the provisioning and configuration of Apache web servers across multiple AWS EC2 (RHEL) nodes using Ansible playbooks and reusable roles, establishing passwordless SSH.
