Led the migration from a centralized Terraform repository to decoupled on-demand IaC repositories. Solution included a boilerplate IaC code and Buildkite CI/CD pipeline that configured Terraform workspaces and provisioned infrastructure into GCP. Increased developer productivity by reducing pull request review time for deploying infrastructure changes by 67%.

Led the strategic implementation, deployment, and maintenance of Terraform Enterprise in GCP, a critical component in self-service enablement effort. Supported 3000+ workspaces and 4000+ developers. Deployment included Puppet and Terraform code for automated installation and upgrade, Datadog monitoring, custom Docker images enabling secure provider authentication for each run, cost transparency and ownership assignment with BigQuery, and automated cleanup procedures for abandoned resources.

Contributed to the successful rollout of the internal platform-as-a-service. This platform served over 11K executions with 35% engagement of technology employees in the first 6 months.

Developed one of the top 3 orchestration providers for the internal platform-as-a-service. This Go provider translated Terraform configurations into UI workflows for no-code deployments.

Authored and maintained a suite of Buildkite plugins, pipelines, and repository templates for bootstrapping and publishing Terraform providers, modules, and Sentinel security policies.

Acted as technical lead for a team of 4 outsourced engineers and 2 senior engineers.

Designed a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline that allowed users to orchestrate deployments of infrastructure resources across disparate providers in a single commit; reduced operational burden and facilitated the migration to the cloud.

Developed 4 custom Terraform providers to automate the provisioning and management of diverse infrastructure components(storage and network, IP address management, and service account keys handling). Contributed to the open-source Terraform provider for GCP.

Collaborated with security team and automated security scans of image templates created by Packer in a customized Jenkins CI/CD pipeline. Reduced vulnerability detection time by 30%.

Delivered vendor-agnostic cost visibility solution using BigQuery, Jenkins, and Looker. Proposed infrastructure labeling standards and drove the adoption to 80%.

Deployed and operated Jenkins clusters serving all infrastructure deployments.

Designed, tested, and automated ESXi network configuration, achieving higher levels of resiliency.

Led the automation of service-based VM templates using Packer, resulting in 25% reduction in template creation time.

Implemented a customized ESXi monitoring tool with ELK stack and Jenkins, leading to a 20% decrease in system downtime through proactive issue identification.

Maintained the stability and scalability of a vast virtualization environment, overseeing 6000+ VMs across 250+ hypervisors.

Engineered an internal Python-based tool for VMware virtual machine provisioning, enabling VM delivery in under 15 minutes.

Optimized initial virtual machine placement through a Python solution, ensuring runtime efficiency and performance.

Deployed and managed Nasuni file storage solution for distributed office locations.
