Cradlepoint (part of Ericsson).

• Supported enterprise-scale wireless networking platforms by building secure, scalable, and compliant DevOps automation across AWS and GCP environments.
• Led Infrastructure-as-Code migrations using Terraform, including migration of Terraform pipelines, jobs, and state from non-production to production with governance, approvals, and rollback strategies.
• Managed AWS CloudFormation stacks for controlled provisioning, updates, and deletion of AWS resources, including the safe teardown of dependent resources.

• Migrated incident management and alerting from PagerDuty to Datadog, redesigning alert flows while avoiding on-call or team bindings in regulated environments.
• Implemented centralized observability using Datadog, including monitors, log-based alerts, dashboards, and security signals for cloud and Kubernetes workloads.
• Built metrics, alarms, and log analysis using Amazon CloudWatch for infrastructure health, automation visibility, and failure detection.

• Automated secure access management using Teleport, implementing role-request workflows enforcing least-privilege access based on user designation, environment, and business justification.
• Enabled full API-level auditing and compliance using AWS CloudTrail to track IAM actions, infrastructure changes, and operational events.
• Embedded DevSecOps (DSO) practices by integrating security checks, vulnerability scans, access audits, and automated remediation into CI/CD pipelines.

• Developed Python-based automation scripts for: AWS inactive IAM user detection and cleanup GitLab user access and permission audits Jira access and activity audits Database access and compliance audits
• Built event-driven automation using AWS Lambda to execute audits, validations, and remediation without server management.
• Implemented lightweight automation using Google Cloud Functions for cross-cloud integrations and scheduled operational workflows.

• Implemented container security automation using Amazon ECR vulnerability scanning, automatically creating Jira tickets for critical CVEs and policy violations.
• Built CI/CD logic to detect outdated or non-rolled-out Helm chart versions, triggering Jira tickets to responsible application teams.
• Designed cron-based cleanup pipelines to: Compare deployed Helm versions with historical releases Identify stale or unused versions Perform safe cleanup or escalation via automated workflows

• Designed and implemented an LLM-powered DevOps chatbot integrated with Slack, enabling natural-language interaction over Git, AWS, and infrastructure data.
• Integrated Amazon Q and OpenAI APIs to provide conversational insights into merge requests, IAM access, infrastructure state, and operational context.
• Implemented LLM-based intent detection and contextual reasoning to analyze merge requests, summarize infrastructure impact, and explain risks, benefits, and change implications.
• Built RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) workflows, grounding LLM responses with real-time data from AWS APIs, Terraform state files, and Kubernetes metadata.
• Used LLMs to convert complex IAM JSON policies into human-readable access summaries, improving security transparency and audit readiness.
• Implemented strict guardrails, ensuring LLMs were used only for interpretation and summarization, with execution handled by secure backend automation.
• Reduced repetitive DevOps support queries by 60–70%, significantly improving self-service capabilities for engineering teams.
