Namdeo Pawar — DevOps Engineer

🚀 Senior DevOps Engineer | Platform Engineering | Security-Focused DevOps | AWS | Kubernetes | GitOps Hi, I’m Namdeo Pawar — a Senior DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and operating secure, scalable, and highly available cloud platforms for production environments. My core strength lies in building end-to-end DevOps and platform solutions — from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD automation to security, observability, and zero-trust networking. I enjoy working on complex infrastructure challenges and turning them into reliable, repeatable, and well-documented systems. 🔧 What I Work On: I specialize in AWS-based cloud platforms and Kubernetes-centric architectures, using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps principles to deliver consistency and speed. • Cloud & Platforms: AWS (EKS, ECS, EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM), Azure, GCP, ESXi • Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Karpenter, ArgoCD • CI/CD & Automation: GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline • Image Engineering: Packer, hardened VM images, Docker & Kali Linux image builds • Security & Identity: OpenZiti (Zero Trust Networking), Keycloak (OIDC / SAML), IAM, RBAC • Registries & Observability: Harbor, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, CloudWatch 🏗️ Platform & Security Experience: I’ve focused heavily on security-first and platform-engineering initiatives, including: • Designing Zero Trust access models using OpenZiti to remove public network exposure • Building automated GitLab CI/CD pipelines for bot runners and security tooling • Deploying private Harbor registries with RBAC and vulnerability scanning • Implementing centralized authentication and SSO using Keycloak across platform services • Enabling GitOps-based deployments on Kubernetes with safe rollouts and rollbacks 📈 Impact & Achievements: • Led large-scale migrations across AWS, on-premises, and GCP with 99.99% uptime • Reduced infrastructure provisioning time by 60% using Terraform and Ansible • Improved release reliability and deployment speed through CI/CD and GitOps adoption • Reduced manual operational workload by ~80% through automation and standardization 🧠 How I Think: I strongly believe in Infrastructure as Code, automation-first workflows, and security by design. I care deeply about reliability, maintainability, and clear documentation, and I enjoy mentoring teams to adopt DevOps best practices at scale. 📬 Let’s Connect: I’m open to discussions around DevOps, Platform Engineering and SRE as well as challenging cloud-native projects where I can add real value.
