EXPERIENCE

DevOps Engineer Intern · ReatchAll

May 2026 – Present · Hyderabad, India
  • Analyzed cloud resource usage and applied infrastructure optimization measures that reduced overall cloud costs by 55%.
  • Implemented CI/CD pipelines for application delivery, automating the path from code changes to deployment and reducing deployment time by 80–90%.
  • Automated instance start and shutdown schedules with a scheduler, aligning non-production runtime with operational needs and generating an additional 20% reduction in cloud costs.
  • Improved day-to-day cloud operations by replacing manual instance scheduling with a repeatable automation workflow focused on cost efficiency and availability.

PROJECTS

AI Inference Infrastructure on AWS

  • Designed and deployed a distributed AI inference platform on AWS with Terraform and a secure three-node architecture for API, caller, and inference workers.
  • Provisioned private VPC networking and a NAT Gateway to isolate worker nodes while maintaining required outbound connectivity.
  • Automated reproducible infrastructure and service deployment using Terraform, Bash scripting, and systemd.
  • Implemented private RPC communication, exposing only the public inference API and keeping internal services in private subnets.
  • Designed for future production scale with GPU inference, model sharding, load balancing, Auto Scaling, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, and Kubernetes orchestration.
