About

DevOps engineering for cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes operations, deployment workflows, and observability.

About

Operational DevOps engineering for AWS microservices platforms, deployment workflows, and observability.

Shiv works on AWS and Kubernetes-based microservices platforms with EKS delivery, Helm releases, reusable Terraform modules, and GitLab CI/CD automation.

Recent work includes deployment automation, monitoring integrations, secrets management, and production incident support.

Key Focus

  • Cloud platform environments and networking
  • Kubernetes cluster operations
  • Release workflows and pipelines
  • Terraform infrastructure modules
  • Service observability and alerts
  • Release validation and operational support

Infrastructure

Design and operate scalable cloud environments with secure VPC, IAM, and network controls.

Kubernetes

Manage cluster deployments, release rollouts, and runtime reliability for microservices.

Terraform

Build reusable modules, environment standardization, and automated provisioning practices.

Observability

Implement Datadog and Splunk visibility for deployment metrics, logs, and incident response.
