Where I've Worked

Senior Accommodation Assistant Specialist, RADR @ Rutgers University

June 2024 - Present

New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States · Remote

Cloud Infrastructure Engineer @ Capgemini Technology Services Limited

June 2021 - July 2023

Navi Mumbai, IN

Problem Solved:

Companies were spending too much money maintaining old, slow computer systems that couldn't handle growing business needs. I helped move their applications to the cloud, making them faster, more reliable, and cost-effective while reducing manual work that often led to errors.

Microsoft Azure Terraform Ansible Jenkins MySQL DevOps
  • Migrated 20+ legacy applications to Microsoft Azure, leveraging all 6 R's of cloud migration (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Retire, Retain, Repurchase) to optimize for performance, scalability, and compliance
  • Automated provisioning of cloud infrastructure for multi-stage environments (Dev, SIT, UAT, Pre-Prod, Prod) using Terraform, ensuring consistency, scalability, and repeatability
  • Streamlined environment configuration using Ansible, eliminating manual setup errors and reducing deployment time by 30%
  • Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, integrating infrastructure and application deployment workflows across multi-team environments

RUMAD Mentor @ Rutgers University Mobile App Development

January 2025 - May 2025

New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States · Hybrid

Problem Solved:

Students needed items delivered on campus but existing delivery services were expensive and slow. I mentored a team to build ScarletCart, a student-to-student delivery app that connects students who need items with those willing to deliver, creating an affordable and fast campus delivery network.

Flutter Firebase Google Maps SDK Figma UI/UX
  • Mentored a student team in the RUMAD Spring 2025 Incubator Program, guiding them through the full mobile app development lifecycle — from ideation and UI/UX design to implementation and deployment
