Ashwin Divakaran

I am a cloud-focused DevOps engineer with hands-on experience building automation and improving operational reliability at scale. My work centers on using Terraform, Python, and CI/CD tooling to deliver repeatable, observable infrastructure.

At AWS Professional Services I developed a Terraform-based Python automation to orchestrate EKS cluster upgrades, reducing manual intervention by 80% and compressing upgrade cycles to a single coordinated daily batch. I also supported a large cloud migration by managing GitLab CI/CD pipelines and integrating Checkov, SonarQube, and Grafana across 50+ applications.

I hold multiple AWS certifications (Security – Specialty, Solutions Architect – Associate, AI Practitioner) and a HashiCorp Terraform Associate certification, and I bring practical experience with Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Docker, Ansible, and monitoring tools. My projects demonstrate full-stack and systems-level skills, including AI-driven playlist generation and networking/server implementations.

I seek roles where I can apply automation, infrastructure-as-code, and observability best practices to reduce toil and improve reliability, while continuing to learn and contribute to large-scale cloud migrations and platform engineering efforts.
