SAIKUMAR PUJARI
DevOps Engineer
Ilford
Summary
I'm a DevOps Engineer with over five years of hands-on experience working across cloud environments, particularly Azure and AWS. Over the years, I've grown comfortable building and managing CI/CD pipelines, automating deployments, and supporting development teams with the tools and infrastructure they need to ship reliable software faster. I've worked with tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, and have set up infrastructure using both Terraform and traditional scripting. My background also includes containerization with Docker and orchestration using Kubernetes, along with a fair share of scripting in Bash and Python to automate repetitive tasks. I've had the chance to work on projects that involved monitoring setups using Grafana and Splunk, as well as cloud cost optimizations that made a real difference. What I enjoy most is bringing structure and consistency to the software delivery process, while collaborating closely with dev teams to solve real-world challenges. I'm always learning and adapting, and I bring a practical, hands-on mindset to everything I do.
Bilingual DevOps Engineer with background designing, testing, and implementing infrastructure and applications. Talented performer with over [Number] years of experience using source control tools to identify and fix bugs in code. Consistent team player with exemplary multitasking skills.
Critical thinking DevOps Engineer with extensive understanding of high availability architecture and concepts. Purpose-driven professional with capacity to be strong team player plus work effectively independently.
