Building High Performance Teams WORK EXPERIENCE VMware, Palo Alto, CA Oct 2012 Till Now Technical Architect, Platform /DevOps Engineer/ SRE Kubernetes Platform and IaC: Comprehensive experience designing, deploying, and managing Kubernetes clusters on bare-metal infrastructure, coupled with expertise in migrating applications from traditional virtual machine (VM) environments to Kubernetes. Focused on optimizing performance, scalability, and reliability while modernizing applications. Designed and implemented Kubernetes clusters on bare-metal servers, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. Configured Kubernetes components such as kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, tailoring configurations for the specific needs of bare-metal environments Deployed custom networking solutions using CNI (Container Network Interface) plugins to support service discovery and load balancing. Integrated scalable and persistent storage systems such as Ceph, NFS, or GlusterFS, ensuring reliable data management for migrated applications. Implemented GitOps workflows for managing Kubernetes configurations, ensuring consistency across environments. Designed disaster recovery solutions for migrated applications, including backups of application data and state. Application Migration from VMs to Kubernetes: Assessed applications hosted on virtual machines, analyzing dependencies, resource requirements, and network configurations for migration feasibility. Containerized legacy applications using Docker and Helm charts, enabling seamless deployment onto Kubernetes clusters. Automated the migration process with CI/CD pipelines, reducing downtime and ensuring a smooth transition to containerized environments. Re-architected monolithic applications into microservices where appropriate, leveraging Kubernetes features like namespaces, ConfigMaps, and Secrets for efficient management. DevOps Platform and SRE Practice: Led the team of DevOps/SRE Engineers automating 400+ Applications/deployments, increasing the feature velocity by 60% and reducing release cycle from days to on-demand. Designed and architected a robust DevOps platform supporting cloud and on-premises deployments across various platforms including Kubernetes (Tanzu / AWS), Salesforce, Boomi, Oracle ERP, Oracle Middleware, Java, Angular, C#, Mobile Apps, and others. Enabled the Secure Code and Configurations First mindset by integrating SAST, DAST and OSS Security scans into the pipelines reducing the security issues to near Zero. Implemented robust code security audits to enforce secure coding practices. Defined and Established CI/CD processes for applications designed for modern application platforms leveraging Kubernetes and docker, deployed on both private and public clouds. Implemented standardized monitoring across the platform using VMware s Wavefront (SaaS offering), providing in-depth visibility into application and platform performance. Code Quality, Testing, Standards, Security and Compliance: Improved the code quality by 50% by integrated SonarQube code quality gates, reducing SIT and Functional issues by 40%. Integrated SAST, DAST and OSS scans using Coverity, Black duck, and Carbon Black across various technology stacks to ensure security compliance increasing visibility and resolution tracking for leadership. Tools and Pipeline Management: Configured and managed Kubernetes as a platform running on cloud infrastructure. Reduced the infra provisioning and infra ticket resolution by 90%. Managed Jira projects and workflows for Business IT, overseeing approximately 800 projects. Architected deployments for 100+ Applications and 400+ deployment objects for On-Prem and Cloud platforms with integrated test Execution, enabling code deployments from development to production. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Designed and implemented advanced AI-powered chatbots to assist business users, delivering real-time insights and enabling quick access to critical information. Applied machine learning models to empower users to dynamically trigger backend jobs based on input parameters, streamlining processes and minimizing manual effort. Integrated AI and ML algorithms to analyze inputs such as Jira ID, Git URLs, commits and environments providing actionable, real-time information on builds, deployments, QA processes, and vulnerabilities. The HomeDepot, Orange, CA Nov 2011 Sep 2012 Lead Engineer Enable the transformation to from the waterfall to agile development process. Build infrastructure for automated QA test Execution and integration with the CI/CD build process. Managed source code control systems IBM Rational ClearCase and implemented the robust branching strategy aligned with the organization goals Vendavo Inc., Mountain View, CA Aug 2005 Oct 2011 Build and Release Manager Automated the CI/CD processes to deploy code from development to production with zero manual intervention including the QA test execution.
