Hi, I'm Vivek Goel, a passionate Site Reliability Engineer with experience building scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure in production. I specialize in:

• 🔧 Automating infrastructure using Terraform
• ☁️ Designing cloud-native solutions on Azure & AWS
• 🐧 Mastering Linux for performance and security
• 💾 Optimizing database reliability with MariaDB replication and deployment automation
• 🔍 Building observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting pipelines

• 🏗️ Designed and implemented a secure, scalable Hub‑Spoke architecture with integrated disaster recovery capabilities, optimizing network traffic and ensuring business continuity for 10+ production applications using firewalls, private endpoints, and automated failover mechanisms.
• ⚙️ Automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform by creating reusable modules to standardize deployments across multiple environments, reducing setup time by 50%.
• 🔐 Configured the Azure Virtual Network Gateway (VNG) to establish secure connectivity between on‑premises data centers and Azure networks.
• 📊 Deployed and scaled observability stacks—Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki—enabling 24/7 monitoring, real‑time alerting, and faster incident resolution across production workloads.
• 🚦 Configured and managed NGINX for high‑performance web traffic handling, optimizing load balancing and security, and built custom dashboards for real‑time analytics on 4xx/5xx status codes.
• 💾 Automated the setup of a multi‑master MariaDB Galera Cluster via SaltStack and implemented a robust failover strategy to ensure high availability and data consistency.
• 🤝 Collaborated with development teams to define and implement SLIs, SLOs, and SLA alerts, increasing service reliability and operational transparency.
• 🚨 Participated in on‑call rotations, performed incident response and root cause analysis, and guided restoration efforts for critical service‑impacting events.

• 🔍 SRE practices at scale — error budgets, SLIs, SLOs
• 🤖 AI for infrastructure monitoring and log analysis
• 📦 Kubernetes & service mesh (Istio)

• 🧩 I love chess, traveling, and cooking new dishes
• 🎮 I unwind with online games and Linux CLI experiments
• 🧭 My goal: Become a top-tier SRE and give back to the tech community
