  • Developed python scripts of GraphQL API of WIZ tool to identify multiple account resources data and created dashboard out of it.
  • Created scheduled cron job to run the scripts on daily basis.
  • Proposed and implemented transition from EKS Extended support to the standard version to continue support with AWS and reduce costs, delivering ~$80000 - $85000 in annual savings while maintaining workload stability.
  • Initiated AWS RDS MySQL and PostgresDB version recommendation in org level to upgrade to standard version to avoid excess cost for extended support, resulting in ~$30000 - $35000 in annual savings.
  • Conceptualized and led the migration from Redis to Valkey achieving around ~$10000 - $15000 monthly savings with zero performance degradation.
  • Identified ~15000 EBS volumes which are using GP2 storage volume and led the migration to GP3 storage volume, resulting in ~$10000 monthly cost savings.
  • Migrated Python scripts fetching the cost data and usage from VMWare CloudHealth API to FinOut API and populated the data in PowerBI Dashboard for global access.
  • Initiated and developed internal CRM tool using Monday.com project management tool to record the conversations with each of the cloud account owner/admin [AWS, Azure, GCP] so that anyone can view the status of each task in one location.
  • Utilized Monday API and developed scripts to auto-populate the metadata of each cloud account on Monday board.
  • Fetched the activity [comments] happened with each of cloud account and populated as conversations in internal tool which acts as ground truth.
  • Created custom PowerBI Dashboard to visualize and compare instance types of multiple cloud providers [AWS, Azure, GCP] based on criteria and conditions to use the optimized instance and avoid excess storage and cost.
  • Initiated and designed a cloud metadata portal to visualize cost optimization status with a scoring system, categorizing opportunities from score A to F based on cost saving potential, enabling admins to prioritize optimizations.
  • Enabled stakeholders with real-time actionable insights through the portal, driving continuous cost optimization.
  • Led awareness efforts by notifying 100's of users about ongoing cloud optimizations, enhancing cross-team visibility and cost-conscious engineering culture.
  • Designed and implemented an automated data refresh pipeline between production and non-production Amazon Redshift clusters using Lambda and Eventbridge.
  • Used SNS to notify about the status of pipeline and cloudtrail for logs.
  • Improved data consistency and eliminated manual refresh steps, reducing operational overhead by 90%.
  • Developed a POC to carry out the large data transfer in kubernetes cluster [Rancher] to transfer data between local and pods running on on-prem server.
  • Conducted multiple POCs evaluating various third-party data transfer [Apache Ni-Fi, etc] monitoring tools to identify the best fit for our team.
  • Recognized gaps in existing solutions and designed a custom internal monitoring tool tailored specifically to meet the requirements and alerting needs.
  • The current setup has 3 Direct connect connections and ~15 EC2 instances to carry out the data transfer from/to third-party on-prem server and AWS S3 bucket totaling multiple Petabytes of data.
  • Created custom monitoring tool internally using Cline plugin extension in VSCode with access to AWS Bedrock and selected model as Claude_Sonnet 3.7.
  • Developed and deployed within 3 days to meet critical operational needs.
  • Designed and built AI-powered Chatbot leveraging Internal LLM Model and Langchain framework.
  • Architected a RAG [Retrieval, Augment and Generative] pipeline having multiple data sources.
  • Integrated vector databases and semantic search tools to enable relevance-based knowledge retrieval, enhancing answer precision in complex user queries.
  • Submitted AI chatbot with RAG pipeline concept in a competitive Hackathon and shortlisted among 500+ ideas for its technical merit and impact.
