I build cloud infrastructure that never touches the public internet. Azure and AWS, all of it in Terraform, running on Kubernetes.

Solutions Enabler at JMAN Group in Chennai. Open to remote platform, DevOps and SRE roles.

The kind of platform I build Client traffic enters a private network through Azure Firewall and reaches Databricks, storage and Key Vault over private endpoints. Git changes flow through Argo CD into an AKS cluster running 18 internal tools. Requests from the public internet are blocked at the boundary. private network, no public endpoints Client network Public internet Git Azure Firewall Private DNS Databricks ADLS storage Key Vault private endpoints Argo CD AKS 18 internal tools Client traffic reaches Databricks, storage and Key Vault through Azure Firewall and private endpoints.

What I've built

Most of this is client work at JMAN Group, a data and analytics consultancy, plus the internal platform our own teams run on.

  • Private Azure Databricks for 4 to 5 clients

    End-to-end private deployments, from Azure Firewall and VNet injection to private endpoints for the workspace and storage. The whole thing is Terraform, so each new client starts from tested modules instead of a blank page.

    • Azure Databricks
    • Azure Firewall
    • Private endpoints
    • Terraform
  • Terraform accelerator

    An internal tool that generates Terraform code from our reusable modules, so teams stop hand-writing the same infrastructure for every project.

    • Terraform
    • Module design
    • Azure DevOps
  • One Kubernetes platform for 18 internal tools

    A central AKS cluster for our internal tools. Every deployment goes through Git and Argo CD, never by hand.

    • AKS
    • Argo CD
    • GitOps
  • Microsoft Fabric over Private Link

    Deployed Fabric privately using Private Link and switched off public access from the admin portal.

    • Microsoft Fabric
    • Private Link
  • Pinning down a wandering Fivetran agent

    A client's Fivetran agent kept landing on different pods in AKS. I suggested Kyverno to inject the scheduling attributes, then locked placement down with taints and tolerations.

On the side

Terraplay

A Discord bot in Go that spins up an isolated AWS game server for every session using Terraform workspaces. Remote state with locking, OIDC from GitHub Actions so no keys are stored anywhere, and game saves backed up to S3 and restored next time.
