Hi, I'm Hiren

I build platforms that don't wake you up at 2 AM

About Me

I'm a DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of experience in cloud automation, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code on AWS. I focus on building systems that are reliable, cost-efficient, and easy to operate.

Think automated disaster recovery pipelines, self-healing infrastructure, and release workflows that remove manual bottlenecks. I build it, I ship it, I'll be on your floor if it breaks.

Currently at ArmorCode Inc., where I've cut compute costs, sped up pipelines, and built backup/DR for stateful workloads across Terraform, Kubernetes, Jenkins, ELK, and GitHub Actions.

Jun 2025 – Present · Gurugram, India · Hybrid

  • Own and automate critical cloud + CI/CD infrastructure to improve release speed, reliability, and cost efficiency in a SaaS security platform.
  • Killed the daily ~1-hour customer release call by building a polling-based remote execution system: Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB + Jenkins.
  • Designed cross-region, cross-account Backup & DR for RDS/Aurora, DocumentDB, and OpenSearch using EventBridge + Lambda with KMS encryption.

Associate DevOps Engineer

@ ArmorCode Inc.

May 2024 – Jul 2025 · Gurugram, India · On-site

  • Cut compute costs ~11% ($960/mo saved) by migrating workloads from x86 to ARM Graviton with zero performance regression.
  • Boosted CI/CD throughput ~80% and trimmed agent costs by ~$224/mo by migrating Jenkins to ECS/EC2 on-demand agents.
  • Cut idle compute spend by ~$300/mo via ECS step scaling driven by SQS queue depth for AI-correlation workloads.
  • Built GitHub Actions pipelines with AI-powered PR review and tflint validation on every Terraform PR.
