Gaurav Choudhary — DevOps Engineer

I am a seasoned AWS DevOps professional with over 7 years of experience designing and implementing scalable, secure, and automated cloud solutions. My background spans multiple DevOps roles across top tech organizations, where I’ve led cloud transformation initiatives, streamlined CI/CD pipelines, and driven platform automation in complex enterprise environments. Currently, at Rackspace Technology, I work at the intersection of DevOps, AIOps, MLOps, and AWS modern services, driving innovation through automation, observability, and intelligent cloud operations. I contribute to building intelligent pipelines, enhancing platform reliability, and operationalizing AI/ML models to improve system performance and availability. Previously at Cognizant, I led DevOps transformation initiatives and cloud migration programs, collaborating with cross-functional teams to build resilient, cost-optimized AWS infrastructure. I focused on scaling secure, high-availability environments that aligned with strategic business goals. At IBM, I worked on provisioning CI/CD pipelines, builds, and deployments, along with AWS infrastructure automation using Terraform and Python for a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) application, streamlining release cycles and improving platform stability. Earlier at Wipro, I worked on provisioning CI/CD pipelines, builds, and deployments for IBM applications such as IBM IIB (now ACE), IBM MQ, and IBM WebSphere, contributing to enterprise workload modernization by migrating legacy systems to AWS using DevOps methodologies. Throughout my journey, I’ve led end-to-end DevOps initiatives—designing and automating CI/CD workflows, implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and integrating observability and security into every stage of the development lifecycle. I’ve also managed large-scale cloud migrations from on-premises and Azure to AWS using services like AWS Application Migration Service and DataSync, ensuring minimal downtime and seamless transitions. I am committed to continuous learning and bringing the latest in AIOps and MLOps into modern DevOps practices. I thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and enjoy delivering high-impact solutions that drive business value. Let’s connect to collaborate!
