Bijoy Francis

DevOps, Cloud, SRE & Automation Specialist

Professional Summary

With over two decades of extensive IT experience spanning Software Development, Test Environment Management, and Application Automation, I am a seasoned DevOps Consultant dedicated to building scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure. My career encompasses managing enterprise-level cloud environments across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry, as well as spearheading the modernization of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD.

I specialize in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM / Bicep) and container orchestration (EKS, AKS, GKE, Docker), seamlessly integrating robust security and comprehensive monitoring tools like Datadog, New Relic, SonarQube, and Snyk into the development lifecycle. Having transitioned from a foundational career as an Application Developer, I bring a deep understanding of the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), enabling me to bridge the gap between development and operations effectively.

Beyond technical execution, I am passionate about driving organizational excellence—having led DevOps teams, established reference CI/CD architectures, and fostered continuous learning cultures to meet evolving business needs.
