  • Cut deployment time by 96% (1 hour → 5 minutes) by building automated CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and GitOps across 4 environments — Dev, Staging, UAT, Prod — serving 30–40 containers.
  • Reduced production downtime by 50–60% by engineering a full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Node Exporter, Blackbox Exporter) for a 17-node Kubernetes cluster (12 workers, 5 masters) with org-wide dashboards.
  • Built a resilient PostgreSQL infrastructure using CloudNativePG Operator, ensuring zero data loss and 24/7 uptime, with automated daily backups to NAS servers across all environments.
  • Resolved critical service-level issues in Kafka, Celery, Redis, and Django, ensuring consistent data streaming and uninterrupted availability.
  • Designed and implemented automated PostgreSQL backup infrastructure on Kubernetes using CloudNativePG (CNPG) and Barman Cloud, configuring continuous WAL archiving and scheduled base backups to a self-hosted MinIO S3 store with gzip compression, retention policies, and point-in-time recovery.
