Who I Am

I'm a Service Expert in Software Development Tools at TRUMPF SE + Co. KG — one of the world's leading manufacturers of machine tools. I own the entire developer tooling ecosystem: Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Copilot, Jira, Elastic Cloud, Figma, and JFrog Artifactory.

My core strength is turning complex, recurring pain points into automated systems. From license lifecycle management to CI/CD governance, I design automations that prevent downtime before it happens and cut down escalation tickets.

Before TRUMPF, I spent 4 years at Tata Consultancy Services managing cloud infrastructure at enterprise scale — thousands of microservices across 10 environments for a $450 Billion retail client, and architected the end-to-end data processing cloud environment for a $150 Billion EU-based Medicare/Medicaid enterprise. I led two teams, set KPIs, designed DR/BC plans, and built IaC pipelines from the ground up.

Outside work, I run my own site to help others build their projects for free — a small way of contributing back to the community.

Career Timeline

Service Expert — Software Development Tools

TRUMPF SE + Co. KG
Jun 2025 — Present
VS License → Azure DevOps Auto-Assignment

Built automation using Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub APIs, and Scoped Tokens that detects expiring Visual Studio licenses and automatically assigns the correct Azure DevOps access rights — eliminating sudden developer lockouts, full productivity loss, and escalation tickets.

GitHub Copilot Governance System

Designed enterprise Copilot governance end-to-end: heavy usage and abuse detection (identifying top-model misuse patterns), automatic credit limit enforcement with user suspension, non-usage license termination, and cost center billing automation — mapping user department IDs to cost centers for enterprise financial planning.

Stale Agent Monitoring & Pipeline Efficiency

Identified root cause of blocked CI/CD queues: stale Azure DevOps agents occupying parallel job slots. Built real-time monitoring and remediation. Led org-wide training on efficient pipeline design and best practices.

Enterprise Developer Tooling Administration

Admin across the full developer tooling stack: Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Copilot, Jira, Elastic Cloud, Figma, and JFrog Artifactory. Owns RCA, incident response, capacity planning, and governance for all platforms.

VNet Infrastructure Troubleshooting

Root cause analysis and resolution of complex VNet-routed pipeline agent failures in enterprise Azure infrastructure.

Enterprise Cloud at Scale · $450B Retail Client

Managed 200+ cloud-based service offerings across 10 environments (Dev, AT, PROD, Retail, Payments) — each supporting thousands of microservices — for a $450 Billion retail client, operating across multiple cloud environments.

End-to-End Data Cloud · $150B EU Healthcare Enterprise

Architected and built the end-to-end data processing cloud environment for a $150 Billion EU-based Medicare/Medicaid enterprise — owning the full pipeline from ingestion through processing to delivery across the platform.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Spearheaded Terraform + GitHub Actions pipelines to automate provisioning and full lifecycle management of cloud environments across Dev, AT, Prod, and Retail.

DR / BC Planning & Security

Designed Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plans, managed IAM policies and user groups, SSL certificate rotation, SDLC and naming convention documentation for enterprise-scale cloud environments.

Led Two Teams · Cross-Functional Governance

Led two teams with monthly/quarterly KPI setting and performance reports. Collaborated with Legal, Privacy, Security, and Business Units on compliance and quality. Mentored junior engineers.

Monitoring & Reliability

Drove observability using Wavefront and Looker. Optimized load balancing, memory/container scaling, and high-availability configurations to ensure minimal latency across all environments.
