Jitendra Bhalothia — Platform Engineer
I work at the intersection of Cloud, Kubernetes, and Platform Engineering — helping teams move faster without breaking production. Most organizations don’t struggle with tooling. They struggle with complexity, ownership, and unsafe defaults. My focus as a Platform Engineer is simple: → Make the right path the easiest path for developers. I design and operate internal platforms that abstract cloud complexity while enforcing security, reliability, and cost controls by default. 🔧 What I work with daily: • Kubernetes (production-grade, multi-environment) • AWS & Google Cloud • Terraform & Infrastructure as Code • GitOps & CI/CD platforms • Observability, security, and reliability practices 🏗️ What I actually build: • Self-service infrastructure platforms • Secure CI/CD pipelines with guardrails • Cloud-native architectures that scale with teams • Developer experiences that reduce cognitive load I strongly believe: DevOps is about delivery. Platform Engineering is about enablement. Here on LinkedIn, I share practical insights on: • Platform Engineering vs DevOps • Kubernetes in real production (not tutorials) • Cloud architecture decisions • Career growth in DevOps / SRE / Platform roles
