Ankit Srivastav — DevOps Engineer

I am a Platform Operations Engineer with more than three years of experience working in system administration, production support, and incident response across both Linux and Windows environments. I currently work at Akamai Technologies, where I support large-scale infrastructure and help ensure high availability of cloud-based and on-premises systems. My core areas of expertise include: - Working with cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Linode, and basic exposure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). - Managing and maintaining operating systems like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Microsoft Windows Server. - Writing automation scripts using Bash and managing version control with Git. - Using container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes for application deployment and environment management. - Monitoring infrastructure health and handling alerts using tools such as Grafana, PagerDuty, and Jira. - Troubleshooting incidents, escalating issues when needed, and performing root cause analysis to prevent future problems. In my current role, I regularly collaborate with development and infrastructure teams to identify and resolve critical issues, monitor system performance, and participate in on-call operations. I have also been involved in setting up backup and recovery processes, applying system updates and patches, and automating routine operational tasks to improve reliability and reduce manual effort. I am currently exploring fully remote opportunities in DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering, where I can continue learning and contribute to building reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure systems.
