AKHILESH PANDEY
@akhileshpandey1
I build reliable OpenShift, Kubernetes, and AWS platforms through automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've delivered OpenShift upgrades, L3 production support, and Ceph storage operations for STL Digital's IBM Airtel project, including a zero-disruption upgrade from OpenShift 4.14.35 to 4.18.32. I troubleshoot complex platform issues with Red Hat support and maintain multi-cluster reliability.
At KodeKloud and Amdocs, I built CI/CD and infrastructure automation with Terraform and Ansible, reducing deployment time by up to 70% and provisioning from four hours to 15 minutes. I've also designed observability and SRE practices using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, Dynatrace, and Splunk.
