  • Eliminated 100% of OOMKilled production crashes by diagnosing JVM heap dumps, recalibrating container memory limits, tuning G1GC parameters, and profiling thread contention across 20+ Spring Boot services — transforming recurring outage cycles into sustained, crash-free uptime.
  • Owned end-to-end on-call incident response for multi-region AWS EKS platforms (us-east-1 & us-east-2), conducting triage, root cause analysis, and post-incident remediation for customer-facing outages — reducing unplanned downtime by 30% with postmortem documentation adopted team-wide.
  • Defined SLIs, SLOs, and error budget policies for 20+ microservices covering latency (p99), availability, and error rate — directly influencing deployment cadence and reducing alert fatigue by 50% through systematic rationalization of noisy monitors.
  • Architected end-to-end observability stack using Datadog APM, Prometheus metrics, and structured log analysis — reducing MTTR by 60% and enabling proactive detection of degradations before customer impact across 8 deployment environments.
  • Engineered reusable CI/CD automation framework via Harness pipelines with RBAC enforcement and performance/reliability gate validation — preventing faulty deployments and cutting deployment failures by 50% across 20+ microservices.
  • Managed 150+ Helm deployments across multi-region EKS with rolling, blue-green, and canary strategies — enabling zero-downtime daily production releases supporting millions of client operations with full disaster recovery capability.
