Work History

Vice President

JP Morgan Chase and Co
12.2022 - Current
  • Employed CI/CD best practices with blue green strategy, rollback strategy to achieve no downtime deployments, improve deployment frequency. Implemented auto-scaling, reducing system crashes during high-traffic instances. Implemented monitoring, alerting and logging
  • Implemented Terraform scripts for IAC, repeatably spawning environments swiftly and reducing errors.
  • Drove a 60% cut in unnecessary IT expenditure by enabling resource tagging to track usage, adopting scaling patterns, adopting light switch pattern to intelligently turn off running compute instances during non utilization periods, performed metrics-driven analysis using cloud watch and datadog to identify areas for optimization and cost savings.
  • Developed and adopted centralized CICD solution.
  • Collaborated on disaster recovery plans, reducing system recovery time by 30%. Executed successful Cloud migrations, reducing downtime during transitions by 50%. Implemented an effective data backup and recoverability strategy, reducing data loss incidents by 60%.
  • Led the migration of 32+ legacy applications to the cloud with monitoring, alerting and logging enabled, which made application easily scalable, reliable, highly available with increased application performance, reduced deployment time, reduction in maintenance and infrastructure costs.
  • Supported in diagnosing and resolving cloud system issues, maintaining a system reliability rate of 98%.
  • Conducted proof of concepts to prove new technologies in support of architecture vision.
  • Conducted architectural reviews and recommended improvements.
  • Formulated and implemented the strategic roadmap for cloud-based solutions.

Senior Manager

Morgan Stanley
09.2021 - 12.2022
  • Deploying and upgrading application on Open Shift and AWS Kubernetes clusters using Helm.
  • Setup monitor tool to monitor cluster resource usage and performance metrics which was used by both SREs and engineers across the company to troubleshoot problems with their applications or infrastructure.
  • Created an automation framework for deploying newly highly available, scalable scanners and configuring them based on environment variables to perform p1 and p2 scanning across.
  • Infrastructure automation using Terraform.
  • Integrate Pager duty with monitoring tools to trigger/ notify alert when problem occurs also configure operations schedules to allow for 24x7 monitoring by an operations team that can span the globe.
  • Automating any maintenance processes which previously required a manual procedure.
  • Generated a standardized optimization process for application and maintained consistent documentation, also document root cause analysis reports and develop standard operation procedures.
  • Automated regular backups and recovery procedures to ensure data integrity in the event of a system failure.

Accomplishments

  • Cloud Migration Utility: User can provide just source code which needs to be migrated, utility creates infrastructure if not exists, create docker file, deployment yaml, pipeline and triggers deployment build automatically.
  • Cloud Migration: Migration of 32+ legacy applications to the cloud with monitoring, alerting and logging enabled, which made application scalable, reliable, highly available with increased application performance, reduction in maintenance and infrastructure costs.
  • Cost Savings: 60% cut in unnecessary IT expenditure by adopting scaling patterns, light switch pattern to intelligently turn off running compute instances during non utilization periods, performed metrics-driven analysis using cloud watch and datadog to identify areas for optimisation and cost savings.
