CI/CD & Deployment

🚀 Development & Automation

• Evaluated new technologies and tools to enhance overall system performance, stability, and security.
• Developed custom scripts/tools using Python and Bash to automate routine tasks, increasing team productivity.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams (Dev, QA, Infra) to develop, test, and deploy scalable microservices.
• Automated Kafka topic creation and ACLs using Jenkins, improving speed and reducing manual errors.
• Managed microservices in Kubernetes (GKE), ensuring smooth rollout, high availability, and health checks.
• Wrote and updated internal documentation and runbooks to help team members troubleshoot and respond faster.
• Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Git, and ArgoCD for safe and automated deployments.
• Used Harness to simplify application delivery across multiple environments and reduce deployment errors.
• Used Docker to containerize applications for consistent development, staging, and production workflows.
• Employed Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure provisioning and server configuration across AWS and GCP.
• Integrated AWS CodeDeploy into the CI/CD process for EC2-based canary deployments, enabling gradual rollout and rollback strategies to minimize production risk.
• Managed and monitored canary deployments on EC2 using CodeDeploy hooks and lifecycle events to ensure safe and controlled feature releases.

🌐 Infrastructure & Configuration Management

• Managed Compute Engine instances, including setup, startup scripts, firewall rules, and monitoring.
• Handled IAM roles and policies in both AWS and GCP to ensure secure and least-privilege access.
• Tuned Linux systems (CPU, memory, disk I/O) for performance and stability in production environments.
• Managed Cloudflare for DNS, SSL, and caching to boost website speed and protection against DDoS attacks.

📊 Monitoring & Observability

• Used New Relic, Grafana, and VictoriaMetrics for real-time monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding.
• Set up Google Cloud Monitoring and Logging to track GCP infrastructure performance and logs.
• Integrated Kibana with Elasticsearch for visual log analysis, helping debug issues faster.
• Created log-based alerts with ElastAlert, sending real-time alerts via Slack/email for critical events.

⚠️Incident Management & Reliability

• Monitored 24/7 live gaming platforms like Rummy, Fantasy, Poker to ensure high uptime and performance.
• Handled incident response using PagerDuty and Zenduty, ensuring quick resolution of production issues.
• Improved on-call processes with clear escalation paths and alert tuning to reduce noise and fatigue.
• Conducted Root Cause Analyses (RCA) after incidents to document issues, fixes, and long-term improvements.
• Created troubleshooting documentation and issue resolution steps to improve team readiness and reliability.
• Worked closely with QA and Dev teams during go-live events, monitoring performance and system stability post-deployment.
