Projects

TechOps Engineer

Description: In my previous roles, I have gained significant experience in using SalesForce demandware, a cloud-based e-commerce platform that enables businesses to create and manage their online stores. Additionally, I have expertise in utilizing Graphana to develop visually appealing and informative dashboards to help teams monitor and analyze system performance.
Furthermore, I have implemented an all-in-one solution using OpsGenie for managing infrastructure alerts, routing, and on-call scheduling. The solution has been in use for over a year and is the primary tool used by all teams to handle alerts and ensure seamless operations.
I have also worked with Google Cloud Platform Monitoring, specifically Stackdriver, to monitor and manage infrastructure performance and identify potential issues in real-time. Additionally, I have used Terraform to manage Identity and Access Management (IAM) for various systems.
As part of my experience in software development, I have used Sentry to monitor and track errors in applications, as well as Prometheus and Rigor for monitoring system performance and ensuring optimal functionality.
Finally, I have extensive experience with various CI/CD toolsets, including Jenkins, Git, Docker, and Kubernetes, which I have used to automate software development processes, manage source code, and deploy software applications.
Overall, my experience with these tools and technologies has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of software development and DevOps practices, as well as cloud computing and infrastructure management
Responsibilities:

  • Design and create Graphana data visualizations (reports and dashboards) as required to support business needs
  • Analyze datasets and reports to ensure data accuracy
  • Performance tuning - Optimize dashboards to render faster
  • Strong knowledge and work in writing SQL queries
  • Experience with Tableau Server Monitoring Tool, Tableau Content Migration tool
  • Track and communicate project status, issues, risks, and decisions
  • Keeping knowledge base up to date(Confluence + notification channel creation to keep everyone on single page)
  • I've implemented a all-in-one solution for all of the infrastructure alerts, routing and on-call scheduling - OpsGenie. Currently tool is being used for >1 year and this is a main go-to for all the teams
  • In addition to my technical skills and responsibilities, I have also developed strong communication and collaboration skills throughout my work experience. I have worked closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, quality assurance engineers, and project managers, to ensure that systems are running efficiently and effectively. This has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the importance of teamwork and effective communication in achieving project success
  • During my time working with these tools and technologies, I have also developed a strong sense of problem-solving and analytical skills. I am able to quickly identify and troubleshoot issues that arise(that's my thing), and develop effective solutions to mitigate them. This has allowed me to maintain uptime and minimize system downtime, which is crucial in a fast-paced, constantly evolving tech environment
  • Furthermore, I am a fast learner and am always seeking to expand my knowledge and expertise in new areas. I stay up-to-date with the latest trends and advancements in technology, and am constantly seeking out opportunities to develop my skills and knowledge base. New technology? Just let me know and I'll make it my deep dive evening routine
  • Overall, my work experience has provided me with a comprehensive skillset in software development, DevOps, cloud computing, and infrastructure management. I am confident in my ability to deliver high-quality work, collaborate effectively with teams, and adapt to new technologies and environments
