Engineering cloud
infrastructure
at scale.

Azure DevOps Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services, Kolkata. I specialize in designing, implementing, and managing cloud infrastructure that stays online when it matters most.

From handling live DDoS attacks with Azure WAF to restoring services during the CrowdStrike incident — my experience is forged in real production pressure. I believe in automation-first thinking, observability at every layer, and treating infrastructure as code.

Currently building CI/CD pipelines, managing AKS workloads, and driving operational excellence for enterprise clients across the UK and EU.

Zero-Downtime E-Commerce CI/CD Pipeline

Architected and optimized end-to-end Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for a high-traffic retail platform (Upfield). Integrated BlazeMeter load testing as a quality gate post-deployment, and implemented auto-scaling to eliminate downtime windows — achieving 99% uptime and 30% faster releases.

  • ↓ 30% reduction in deployment time
  • ↑ 99% production uptime via auto-scaling
  • SonarQube code quality gates + BlazeMeter performance thresholds
  • Automated SQL Elastic Pool scaling with PowerShell

Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure & DR Strategy

Designed and managed the complete Azure cloud infrastructure for Morrisons UK — containerizing applications with Docker + ACR, deploying AKS for workload management, building Disaster Recovery with Azure Site Recovery (RTO < 1hr), and neutralizing a live DDoS attack via custom WAF rate-limiting rules within 4–5 hours.

  • Mitigated production DDoS using Azure WAF custom rules
  • ASR-based DR: RTO < 1 hour, minimal RPO across regions
  • Containerized workloads: Docker → ACR → AKS
  • ARM Templates IaC for Azure Front Door
