Software Engineer II - Infrastructure

RipplingAug 2022 - Jul 2023 • 1 yrEngineer in the Developer Experience(DevX) team. Developed and maintained continuous integration(CI) pipelines, in-house Cloud Development Environment(CDE), Pytests and developer tools. Implemented remote linting of the mono repo, a 6M+ lines of Python codebase on CDE, reducing developer feedback time for lint from 10min to 20sec -- 95% improvement. Coded instrumentation and created dashboards to visualize CI stage retry and rebuild metrics for 50k+ monthly builds and set up alerts for anomalies. Created bash workflows to smoothly transition 600+ developers from VPN to VPN-less cloud development environments. Prevented long-running test classes from entering the codebase by developing a Python module to fail any CI build if a test class takes >20 minutes to pass. Provided on-call support to 300+ developers, debugged and solved their CI and CDE issues, iterated on dev exp. and onboarded new developers.

DevOps Engineer 2 - Security Operations

Zeta SuiteJan 2022 - Jul 2023 • 1 yr 7 mosWorked as part of Zetas Security Operations Team handling SecOps of 10+ Kubernetes clusters. Sole architect and developer of Zetas 'Security Information & Event Management(SIEM)' portal providing security observability of ~25k Kubernetes pods with real-time security dashboards and alerts. Deployed an intrusion detection system for Zeta's cloud architecture detecting runtime anomalies of 8+ Kubernetes clusters and 300+ EC2 instances. Hardened the containers running in the Kubernetes cluster with security policies with OPA and Kyverno.

DevOps Engineer 1 - Production Operations

Zeta SuiteJul 2020 - Dec 2021 • 1 yr 6 mosExtensively worked on Kubernetes to build highly scalable and automated infrastructures as part of the Platform Runtime team at Zeta (https://zeta.tech). Orchestrated Zeta's serverless architecture based on Openwhisk on 6+ production K8s enabling 200+ developers across 600 microservices to run highly customized serverless functions. Added support for 4+ coding environments for the serverless stack and created continuous integration(CI) pipelines by discussing the user requirements with stakeholders. Reduced the Operation's team labour by coding automated Jenkins pipelines(ex-auto pushing images from Dockerhub to Zeta's internal image repository). Enabled developers to build their code and run 50+ Jenkins pipelines on Kubernetes by migrating build tools(Sonarqube, SwaggerAPI, Nexus Repository) from legacy infra to cloud(AWS EKS). Saved the cloud overhead by profiling the K8s for ineffective resource utilization saving ~ 1.2M$ in yearly infrastructure costs.
