Nikita Shinde

I support AWS infrastructure across Production, Dev, Test, and Stage environments, handling incidents, service requests, changes, and troubleshooting for EC2, EBS, S3, RDS/Aurora PostgreSQL, and EKS. At Infosys, I run Terraform module deployments through GitLab CI/CD, validate infrastructure changes, and dig into connectivity, access, and availability issues using CloudTrail, Splunk, and AWS logs.

I also lead backup and DR activities—AMI and snapshot management, AWS Backup restore validation, and recovery testing—and handle security operations like IAM role/policy changes, PassRole hardening, and vulnerability remediation with Orca Security. I’ve owned FinOps work including 1,000+ EBS GP2-to-GP3 migrations and EC2 rightsizing, and I’ve mentored engineers while creating SOPs and AWS inventory documentation.
