Engineer the systems Automate the toil Accelerate with AI

I'm Shayon Deb Roy. For nearly 9 years I've built reliable, automation-driven infrastructure — Juniper networking, Linux platforms, containers — and I now spend my days wiring AI tools like Claude Code, Claude Cowork and GitHub Copilot into real engineering workflows.

Experience

  • Architect and maintain highly available infrastructure spanning physical Juniper devices (QFX, MX, SRX) and virtual resources (vMX, vSRX) across IS-IS, EVPN-VXLAN and IPSec topologies.
  • Develop Python-based automation for lab provisioning, configuration and tear-down — cutting manual effort and accelerating reservation turnaround.
  • Use Claude Code, Claude Cowork and GitHub Copilot across the automation lifecycle — code generation, review, documentation and safe refactoring of legacy scripts.
  • Leading an internal OpenClaw PoC: an AI-assistant gateway on AlmaLinux via Docker to evaluate centralized, governed AI access for engineering teams.
  • Operate NetBox (netbox-docker) as source-of-truth for IPAM/DCIM; monitoring with PRTG, centralized logging via ELK, dashboards in Grafana and Kibana.
  • Manage configuration through Ansible Automation Platform and GitLab CI/CD; drive incident response, RCAs and capacity planning through ServiceNow.
  • Analyzed client ticket-dump data to identify and prioritize repetitive tasks for automation, building business cases for CoE initiatives.
  • Designed end-to-end automation solutions — process flows, tool selection (runbook, workflow, RPA) and architectures tailored to client constraints.
  • Built automation in Python, PowerShell and Bash; ServiceNow Orchestrator workflows; API integrations; ServiceNow UI customization in JavaScript.
  • Trained 200+ new associates on automation fundamentals and networking at the LTI CIS Academy.
  • Designed an Automation Simulation Lab — MySQL, AD DS, DNS, DFS, Exchange, Nagios — fully provisioned via infrastructure automation.
  • Application support and maintenance for the PPM tool using MySQL, MongoDB, PowerShell, Python on Linux and Windows Servers.
  • Structured training in IT infrastructure fundamentals, Windows Server 2012 R2 and PowerShell automation; production-support simulation labs.
  • Earned AWS Business Professional and AWS Technical Professional certifications.

AI in my workflow

Daily driver

Claude Code & Claude Cowork

Hands-on with Anthropic's agentic tooling — Claude Code for terminal-driven automation development and refactoring, Claude Cowork for file, document and task workflows. Used for troubleshooting, infra scripting and engineering productivity.

Daily driver

GitHub Copilot

Across the automation lifecycle: code generation, peer-style review, inline documentation and safe refactoring of legacy scripts — measurably improving code quality and delivery velocity.

Active PoC

OpenClaw AI Gateway

Leading an internal PoC deploying an AI-assistant gateway on AlmaLinux via Docker — evaluating centralized, governed AI access for engineering teams at scale.
