It enabled migrating multiple three-tier applications from monolithic architecture to microservices architecture that resulted in streamlining the software delivery lifecycle.Designed and implemented automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions. These triggered Ansible playbooks for automatic provisioning and configuration of telecom network infrastructure, encompassing Cisco Catalyst switches and routers. This reduced network deployment time by 40% while ensuring seamless updates to critical network services.Optimized BSNL's AWS cloud infrastructure utilization, leveraging services like EC2, RDS, ELB and ASGs. This resulted in a 30% reduction in operational costs while maintaining high availability and performance.Streamlined proactive monitoring and alerting procedures using Cloudwatch, SNS, Prometheus, and Grafana for BSNL's network. Downtime reduced by 15%, fast incident response secured.Designed and automated the deployment of a scalable CDN for video streaming via AWS CloudFront, S3, Route 53 and ACM. Boosted multimedia delivery, decreased latency, enhanced streaming experience.Automated DevOps tasks through shell scripting and Python. Team avoided manual configuration errors, efficiency rose 40%, routine workflows optimized.Led the implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices with Terraform. Automating the deployment of EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and other resources reduced manual errors by 70%. Consistent configurations across environments were ensured through streamlining.Demonstrated adaptability and rapid learning by successfully deploying an in-house application on Amazon EKS, despite limited prior experience with Kubernetes.Mentored juniors, I shared my DevOps expertise, nurturing a continuous learning environment across the company. Show less • Managed installation, configuration and routine maintenance of web servers such as Apache and Nginx on Linux machines along with implementing load balancers using Nginx to achieve high availability.• Automated repetitive tasks like routine server backups using Bash scripting and Ansible playbooks. • I engineered an IaC solution to mitigate the impact and restore operations swiftly by automating the re-configuration of thousands of ADSL modems affected in a botnet attack on the BSNL network.• I built a health monitoring system for BSNL using Arduino, which is capable of issuing power failure alerts using the MQTT protocol. I also designed a web application to collect metrics and monitor the health of distributed power plant infrastructures, which reduced infrastructure failures by 20% and improved efficiency. • Worked closely with vendors, contractors, and service providers to secure and maintain network and system equipment and services. Show less • Provided network, server, and web-related L1 support to the end customers and L2 support to the tier 1 support team, resolving 30% more complex issues efficiently, thus reducing the overall workload of the tier 1 support team.• Conducted bi-weekly training sessions for tier 1 support staff, covering advanced troubleshooting techniques and product knowledge, leading to an increase of 25% in troubleshooting skills and faster resolution of customer issues.• Developed SNR over WLAN tester (SNoW Tester) for field technicians to Monitor and Alert the performance of ADSL lines without physical access, resulting in increased operational efficiency and reduced service disruptions.

- Awarded to Pratheesh Satheesh KumarAward for outstanding performance in delivering quality services. Principal General Manager, Ernakulam SSA, BSNL India May 2013 In March 2017, I developed a tool called SNoW(Signal to Noise ratio over WiFI) for network technicians working on the physical layer,which effectively send the SNR values and attenuation figures via telnet to a mobile phone replacing costly equipment with a DSL modem.I shared the tool with proper documentation and I got appreciated by my higher authorities.In July 2017, BSNL faced the worst malware attack that reset all the ADSL modems of thousands of broadband customers.

In such achaotic situation, I automated Telenet to reconfigure all the ADSL modems with minimum human intervention. I shared the “Autoconfig”script with a detailed user manual, and that as well helped the organization to recover from the network damage very quickly.In 2019, I developed a Cloud-based powerplant voltage monitor for 7 exchange sites as a part of the tool automation team. I spent lots ofpersonal time on this personal project. In this project, I sensed the battery plant information using an Arduino and sent it to the local Wi-FiAccess Point using an ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module. Once received data is then posted to the server using HTTP. I utilized Python and SQLlite to aggregate the data from each exchange and based on the data it could decide to activate LVD(Low voltage disconnect) equipmentof the corresponding exchange. Although it was a hobby project, later it became very useful for the organization. Moreover,I was involved in the promotion of the products and services. Considering the efforts I have received an award for outstanding performance in delivering quality services. Show less

I used tocommunicate effectively with the clients and answer their queries in simplistic language, which lead to increased customer satisfaction. Igot opportunities to do seven development projects with many of the largest chip manufactures in the world both onsite and offshore,where I successfully team played with my colleagues to deliver the products on time. Whenever a product delivered by any of myteammates was caught with errors, I spent nights assisting them to debug and troubleshoot the bugs, which gave me a mentor status inthe team. Consequently, I assigned newly recruited Project Engineers as team members in order to provide hands-on training to them asa mentor. I have spent extra time in the office to acquire additional know-how in “Skill script and Perl Script” because one of the CAD toolsthat we were using was Cadence Virtuoso, which I thought needed some additional functionalities. I developed a tool called “Instantiator”that helped the team to increase productivity. I received the “Feather in the cap” Award from the group head for the overall contribution. Show less
