<aside> 👨🏻‍💻

I am a DevOps Engineer based out of Phalasia, Udaipur 🌊 (Rajasthan, India) with 6+ years of experience. Currently the Infrastructure Lead at Primetrace (Crafto/Kutumb App).

It just amazes me how almost everything is running on Linux, How Containers are evolving and making life easier, How tools like Kubernetes are managing the containers in a sophisticated manner, and How clouds like AWS are giving us elasticity and freedom to run and test our ideas with just a few clicks!

💻 Professional Summary

A dedicated and self-motivated DevOps Engineer who is also curious about security aspects and tries to follow whatever best practices are known to him either by his own understanding/research or figured by fellow engineers.

Automation is the key, No doubt about it - be it Shell Scripts or Ansible Playbooks or GitHub Actions or AWS CloudFormation/Terraform templates for the whole infrastructure!

I like to work in the cloud-native ecosystem.

🚀 What I do now

At Primetrace I look after infrastructure, security and cloud cost for Crafto, Kutumb and our other apps, which serve around 4M daily active users with traffic peaks of 1M+ TPM. In 2024 I was the only DevOps engineer for a few months; since then I've built a small infra team, which I now lead.

• Platform: Moved production from kOps to Terraform-managed EKS with Karpenter; the cluster grows to ~800 nodes on festival days and shrinks back the next day. ECR pull-through cache, and six Redis databases migrated to ElastiCache Valkey with almost no downtime.
• Cost: Own cloud cost end to end, with daily per-product cost reports and anomaly alerts. Saved ~$6k/month on S3 with lifecycle rules, $3k+/month by moving Redshift to Serverless and ~$1k/month by right-sizing RDS.
• Observability: VictoriaMetrics (~10M active series), distributed Loki (~3 TB of logs a day) and Elastic APM across 30 services, extended with custom tracing. Self-hosted Langfuse for LLM tracing.
• Security: All-region AWS security baseline (active findings cut from ~1.6M to ~390k), CloudFront with WAF and Shield, and a DevSecOps pipeline (Gitleaks, Semgrep, Trivy, Checkov, MobSF) feeding a self-hosted DefectDojo.
• Access: SSO across Vault, ArgoCD, Argo Workflows, our VPN and many internal tools; took the VPN from OpenVPN to Pritunl, Headscale and now NetBird.
• Ownership: 100+ interviews, mentored two DevOps engineers, hired our first security engineer. Own our AWS relationship, including AWS Countdown Premium engagements before peak events.
