“AWS platform/infra engineer with hands-on ownership of EKS cluster lifecycle (upgrades, node scaling, networking/ingress, and EBS-backed stateful storage) and reliability validation using Datadog plus CI/CD smoke tests. Also supported on-prem VMware environments and operated a hybrid on-prem-to-AWS setup over site-to-site VPN, including incident response and implementing change-controlled firewall processes and proactive connectivity health checks.”

“Platform/backend engineer focused on Kubernetes at scale: built a Java control-plane service for multi-region cluster provisioning/monitoring/upgrades using Kafka-driven async workers, and solved peak-load provisioning failures by eliminating blocking I/O and dynamically scaling consumers. Also shipped an LLM-assisted Kubernetes troubleshooting/remediation feature that pulls Prometheus logs/metrics into prompts and uses guardrails (confidence thresholds + human-in-the-loop) to prevent risky actions.”
