Work Experience
Software Engineer Associate (DevOps) (May 2019 - Present) Zaloni Inc.
• Developed web-based application monitoring framework & deployed on AWS for real time & historical monitoring of
Zaloni Data Platform (ZDP) and the instances its running on. Automated installation & configuration with existing single
node & multi-node deployment of ZDP using Ansible. Used by Zaloni internally as well as select clients.
• Used Elastic’s APM & Metricbeat for monitoring all 13 ZDP microservices. Configured Elasticsearch for persistent storage
of performance metrics & Kibana for visualization. Created custom dashboards in Kibana and automated their installation.
• Developed Terraform scripts to migrate from existing Ansible playbooks for cloud orchestration on AWS & GCP.
• Wrote shell scripts for dependency installation of Jenkins slave & master nodes. Used Packer to create their AMI’s &
Jenkins EC2 plugin to configure autoscaling of Jenkins slave nodes based on load exceeding a specified threshold.
• Automated deployment of ZDP on EMR. Used CloudFormation to create IAM roles, VPC, & EMR cluster & Ansible for
configuring the cluster & installing the 13 microservices over the EMR master & a permanently available EC2 instance.
Software Development Intern (July 2017 - Sept 2017) Wipro Limited
Developed application with numerous features to enable communication amongst different class of users, assigning them
different access privileges to data & functionalities. Used Java with Swing for GUI, & JDBC to connect with Oracle database.
Research & Development Trainee (Jan 2017 - Apr 2017) Defence Research & Development Organisation
Customised Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm by generating random keys & using dynamic key-dependent S-
Box making the implementation secure. Developed in Java, without any built-in libraries to accommodate customizations.
Projects
[1] DevOps Automation Project - Continues Integration & Continues Delivery Pipeline
Created a pipeline to automate configuration, build, test & deployment of 2 applications on AWS using Ansible & Jenkins.
• Provisioned & configured a Jenkins & configuration server. Used Jenkins Job Builder to setup build jobs for 2 applications.
• Implemented testing & code analysis for the applications & failed the build on failing to meet the acceptance benchmarks.
• Created a microservice from a web-app, deployed it in docker & used Kubernetes for container orchestration on multiple
AWS instances to form a cluster. Developed dashboards for system metrics monitoring using Prometheus & Grafana.
[2] DevOps Configuration Management Project
• Developed delivery pipeline to run tests, install and deploy an application on a VM, on a commit, using git hooks and
shell scripts. Automated provisioning the instance from Digital Ocean & GCP initialized with a specific VM instance.
• Automated provisioning and configuration of a VM to run Mattermost (slack like chat service) by installing & configuring
Ubuntu server, MySQL DB server and Mattermost server using Ansible along with the SMTP email notifications.
[3] Library Management System Web Application - Object Oriented Design Project
Used Ruby on Rails after MVC pattern & OOP principles. Developed in SQLite DB & deployed on Heroku in PostgreSQL DB.
[4] Open Source Contribution: Expertiza (NSF funded peer-review project management system)
Resolved bugs & changed the implementation of the helper model using Ruby on Rails. Used design patterns to improve
extendibility & maintainability of the code base. Designed test cases to increase code coverage by 2.7%.
[5] Designed & implemented a Peer-to-Peer System with Distributed Index using Socket Programming (TCP) in Python.
[6] Implemented a Point-to-Multipoint File Transfer Protocol using Socket Programming (UDP) in Python.
[7] Comparative Analysis Of Open Source Message Queuing Technologies
Evaluated MQ brokers: Apache Kafka, Rabbit MQ and Apache ActiveMQ. Performed stress & load testing using JMeter
and Gatling to compare & analyse throughput & latency. Used FindBugs to analyse bugs & SonarQube for code issues.
[8] XINU (Unix based OS) Operating System Development
Developed kernel level functionalities for XINU in C. Implemented exponential & linux like scheduling policies. Designed
demand paging architecture with second chance & ageing page replacement policies. Implemented reader writer locks.
