Shailesh Thakur ā DevOps Engineer
š DevOps Architect I | Cloud Platform Strategist | Reliability & Security Lead | Infra Design, Platform Engineering & Automation I am a builder at heart, with 9+ years of deep, hands-on DevOps experience spanning cloud infrastructure, backend development, and platform engineering. As a Senior DevOps Engineer II, I donāt just integrate tools. I design, code, and deliver end-to-end solutions that enable teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter. š ļø What Iāve Engineered: ⢠Built internal DevOps tools using FastAPI and Django, enabling automation, reporting, and provisioning platforms used across multiple teams. ⢠Designed and coded IaC frameworks using Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible, separating provisioning and configuration for cleaner, scalable infrastructure. ⢠Developed GitOps pipelines using Argo CD, Helm, and Kubernetes, driving infrastructure rollouts with PR-based workflows and version control. ⢠Wrote automation scripts in Python, Bash, and PowerShell to handle provisioning, deployment, monitoring, security audits, and incident recovery. ⢠Architected zero-downtime blue-green deployments, and DR automation strategies with real-time validation and rollback mechanisms. ⢠Migrated enterprise workloads from legacy VMs to hybrid Kubernetes clusters, dramatically improving scalability, observability, and release velocity. ⢠Rolled out Azure Lighthouse and cross-tenant governance with fully automated ARM/Terraform workflows, enabling secure client onboarding at scale. ⢠Implemented Monitoring as Code using ELK, Prometheus, and Grafanaāintegrating alerts, dashboards, and auto-healing from code. š” More Than Ops ā I Code. I Build. I Architect. I bring together the best of both worldsāDev and Ops. Whether itās writing APIs with FastAPI, building CLI tools, provisioning infra with Terraform, or creating dashboard-as-code pipelines, I ship clean, tested, production-grade code. I don't rely on toolsāI write them when they don't exist. š§ My Mission To drive platform maturity, resilience, and automation at scale. Iām passionate about mentoring engineers, leading transformations, and building self-service platforms that free up dev teams and accelerate innovation. š¬ Letās connect if you're building something seriousāor just want to nerd out about architecture, CI/CD, or how to replace a 3-week manual deployment with a 3-minute pipeline.
