At Cisco, I lead the Infrastructure and Platform Automation organization. My organization is responsible for building and managing the Container Platform (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Anthos), Zero-trust Platform, Observability stack, self-service tools, and management platform for managing infrastructure and platform service in public and private clouds. The container platform supports Cisco’s $50B of business across Commerce, Software Licensing, Identity, Supply Chain, Technical Support.We are a team of 115+ engineers and leaders located globally in the USA, India, China, and Canada, who take pride in providing large-scale platforms, self-service tools to enable Cisco's business, increase engineering productivity, improve client experience, and delight our clients.Key highlights of deliverables under my leadership:• Built a container platform in multiple regions in an automated and programmable way and made it generally available within 2 months• Reduced the time to build the container platform by more than 95%• Built and released a distributed and scalable Zero-trust platform using Duo Network Gateway (DNG) product to provide borderless (VPN-less) access with improved authentication to Cisco internal apps within 3 months• Led a massive critical effort to migrate large scale clusters (400+ nodes, 30K+ containers) and 1,000+ apps from OpenShift 3 to OpenShift 4 across the globe using lift and shift in a fully automated way• Led a team to develop a self-provisioning and management portal to provision and manage infrastructure and platforms in private and public cloud• Built robust and scalable common observability platform using EFK stack on Kubernetes cluster to be used by various platforms teams• Revamped the team and recruited and trained engineers with cloud-native platform skills (Golang, Kubernetes, Docker, Microservices, APIs, etc.).
