Nisha Sivaprakasam
@nishasivaprakasam
Senior Platform Engineer specializing in Kubernetes, GitOps, and infrastructure security for resilient cloud.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a highly accomplished Senior DevOps/Platform Engineer with 10+ years architecting, scaling, and hardening enterprise cloud-native infrastructure across Azure, AWS, and GCP. As a CKA-certified specialist, I focus on GitOps delivery, Zero-Trust network design, and automated TLS/PKI certificate lifecycles to keep production secure and stable.
In my current Senior/Lead Platform Engineer role, I harden cluster secrets by migrating OpenBao to Native Auth and automate multi-region scheduled backups with VolSync. I enforce Istio strict peer authentication for Zero-Trust microservice communication, apply policy-as-code guardrails with Kyverno, and improve operational visibility through dashboards-as-code in ArgoCD, Kustomize, and Grafana with automated Opsgenie alerting.
Across previous roles at Wipro and beyond, I managed infrastructure for 2,000+ servers using Terraform and Packer, built automation with Ansible and Python, and reduced deployment failures by 60% through CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and ArgoCD. Earlier engineering and automation work strengthened my systems mindset, including developing C++11/Qt libraries, integrating Hasura GraphQL with PostgreSQL, and automating workflows with SQL and AWS Lambda/S3.
