Platform Engineer | 6+ Years Experience | Kubernetes, Cloud-Native Platforms, IaC

DevOps and Platform Engineer

DevOps and Platform Engineer with over six years of hands-on experience designing, building, and operating production-grade cloud-native platforms. My core expertise lies in Kubernetes-based infrastructure, platform engineering, and infrastructure automation across multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in creating reliable, scalable, and secure platforms that enable engineering teams to deliver software efficiently and confidently.

Experience

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively on Kubernetes platforms, managing and scaling clusters using tools such as:

• EKS
• AKS
• GKE

Along with advanced autoscaling strategies using Karpenter and Cluster Autoscaler. I have designed infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and version control across environments. I am deeply experienced with GitOps practices using Argo CD, which has helped standardize deployments, reduce configuration drift, and improve release reliability.

Focus Areas

A significant focus of my work has been on platform reliability and observability. I have built and maintained centralized monitoring and logging systems using:

• Prometheus
• Grafana
• Loki
• Thanos

Enabling proactive monitoring, faster incident response, and improved system visibility. I have collaborated closely with SRE and operations teams to troubleshoot complex distributed systems, perform root cause analysis, and continuously improve platform resilience and performance.

Contributions

I have also contributed to designing and operating infrastructure to support AI/ML workloads, including:

• GPU-enabled Kubernetes clusters
• Workload isolation
• Cost-efficient scaling strategies

By applying FinOps principles such as right-sizing, autoscaling, and cost visibility, I have successfully reduced cloud infrastructure spend by up to 45% without compromising system performance or availability.

Passion & Community Engagement

Beyond technical execution, I am passionate about open-source technologies and community building. I actively engage with the cloud-native ecosystem as a CNCF Ambassador, contributing to knowledge sharing, mentoring, and advocating best practices within the Kubernetes and DevOps communities. I enjoy working in collaborative, engineering-driven environments that value ownership, continuous learning, and modern software development practices, and I am motivated by building platforms that empower teams and scale with organizational growth.
