SKILLS

EXPERIENCE

DevOps Engineer — SAS Jun 2022 – Aug 2025

  • Owned the migration from on-prem infrastructure to Microsoft Azure using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm), reducing deployment times by 70% and enabling rapid iteration across teams.
  • Built and operated Kubernetes-based, multi-tenant platforms supporting 500,000+ users, maintaining 99.999% uptime through robust observability, alerting, and on-call incident response.
  • Designed and implemented automated evaluation frameworks integrated into CI/CD pipelines, enabling fast detection of regressions, systematic comparison of system behavior across releases, and higher-confidence deployments.
  • Developed schema-driven test and evaluation systems that allowed engineers to easily add new scenarios, run evals locally or in CI, and drill into failures affecting real user workflows.
  • Owned data pipelines backed by PostgreSQL, message queues, and Elasticsearch for 14 clients, doubling ingestion throughput while improving correctness guarantees and operational reliability.
  • Designed secure cloud environments using RBAC, IAM, and Azure Key Vault, implementing NIST SP 800-53 controls for public-sector clients.
