BARATAM KISHORKUMAR

I’m a DevOps & Cloud Platform Engineer with 5 years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes orchestration, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and CI/CD automation. I’m currently leading infrastructure and platform engineering for a large-scale banking application on AWS, managing multi-region EKS clusters, disaster recovery architecture, and cost optimization strategies.

I’ve delivered zero-downtime EKS cluster upgrades (v1.33 to v1.34) across multiple runtime environments, and I’ve built autoscaling with Karpenter to replace Cluster Autoscaler—improving pod scheduling and optimizing compute. I also designed multi managed node group architecture for workload isolation, deployed Kube-cleanup automation to reduce cluster waste, and ensured availability using Pod Disruption Budgets and Priority Classes.

Previously at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), I designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines for 250+ applications, integrated security tooling like SonarQube and Trivy, and enforced Kubernetes-native policies using Kyverno. I bring a strong “reproducible and auditable” approach to automation—using Terraform/OpenTofu and Ansible—while focusing on observability (Prometheus/Grafana/CloudWatch) and developer enablement through standardized templates and self-service utilities.
