  • Led Scrum team for Program Increments, facilitating sprint retrospectives, PI evaluations, and promoting a SAFe Agile culture.
  • Resolved all customer escalations related to install, upgrade, and inter-service dependency failures, ensuring reliable deployments in production.
  • Authored a Bash-based Pacemaker resource agent that plugs CipherTrust Transparent Encryption into Red Hat clusters, embedding custom health probes and fail-over logic to deliver zero-trust, five-nines availability.
  • Built a Python-based multi-node execution framework that leverages Redis pub/sub and KV storage to orchestrate tasks across multiple nodes; exposed APIs (run-command, file transfer, agent control) that QA now use to create testcases.
  • Automated critical workflows on Linux using Python and Bash scripts, embedding Observability instrumentation.
  • Built systemd and sysvinit services with proper dependency ordering, aligning with minimal client downtime
  • Authored CTE resources for the CipherTrust Terraform provider in Go—defining schemas and implementing full CRUD + state logic to enable policy-as-code compliance.
  • Enhanced existing C binaries based on evolving client requirements, leveraging low‑level optimizations in the C programming language.
  • Implemented an "upgrade‑on‑reboot" feature ensuring zero downtime and clean state post‑reboot.
  • Implemented features and integrations for high-availability enterprise-Linux products, applying cloud-native and containerization patterns.
  • Authored RPM/DEB packaging scripts in Bash/Python with cross-distro compatibility, embedding startup logic for systemd and SysVinit to ensure seamless service management across RHEL/Ubuntu environments.
