@surajbhattarai
Cloud engineer specializing in Azure, GCP, IaC and cloud-native automation for reliable, cost-efficient systems.
NepalWhat I'm looking for
I am a Cloud Engineer focused on Azure and GCP with hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, automation, and container orchestration. I prioritize system reliability, compliance, and cost optimization while integrating DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines.
Across roles supporting startups and enterprises, I deployed Terraform-managed infrastructure, containerized legacy services, and built automated backup and disaster recovery workflows that improved recovery times and availability. I have delivered measurable results such as 99.9% service availability, faster RTO, and reduced operational overhead through automation.
I combine technical skills (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Python, Bash) with cross-team collaboration and incident response experience, and I actively contribute to community and leadership programs to mentor others and promote open-source engagement.
