Akshay Ghalme
@akshayghalme
AWS DevOps Engineer focused on secure, cost-optimized GitOps cloud infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AWS DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and managing production-grade cloud infrastructure for a multi-tenant SaaS platform serving 1000+ customer subdomains.
I’ve consistently improved reliability and efficiency—reducing AWS infrastructure costs by ~80% through architectural optimization, gp2→gp3 EBS migration, Reserved Instance planning, and right-sized compute and traffic routing.
I build secure delivery pipelines and environments using IaC and GitOps: Jenkins CI/CD with automated testing and rollback, plus EKS cluster security with Kyverno, least-privilege IAM, and “zero public database exposure”.
I’m also deeply into full-stack observability and supply-chain security—using Trivy, Cosign, Syft SBOM generation, Checkov IaC scanning, and Prometheus/Grafana/Loki/OpenTelemetry to reduce MTTD and strengthen audit readiness.
