Nikita Banthiya

I am a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 13+ years of experience designing enterprise-scale solutions, modernizing infrastructure, and implementing automation at scale. I bridge cloud architecture and DevOps practices to deliver secure, scalable, and efficient platforms.

At FICO I led infrastructure modernization using Terraform and Ansible, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and built Python automation tools that reduced deployment time and manual operational tasks significantly. I established cloud optimization practices that drove 60% cost savings while improving reliability and release velocity.

I design cloud security architectures using Vault, automated vulnerability scanning, and least-privilege controls, reducing security risk profiles and access-related support tickets. I also architect platform integrations such as SSO with Tableau to improve user productivity.

I combine hands-on technical leadership with documentation, mentorship, and knowledge sharing to elevate team capabilities. I continuously explore advanced DevOps, FinOps, and cloud-native AI/ML practices to keep platforms efficient and future-ready.
