Vivek Kushwah

DevOps & Platform Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and scaling cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Proven track record of reducing cloud costs by 40%, improving deployment speed by up to 50%, and enhancing system reliability through Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitOps-driven automation.

Led VM and API Gateway migration from Azure to AWS at ZebPay, directing a team of 3 engineers to deliver large-scale migration and modernization initiatives, improving latency, strengthening security, and enabling seamless backend integrations across legacy and active systems. Designed reusable Terraform modules to standardize infrastructure provisioning across multi-cloud environments, significantly reducing environment setup time and improving consistency.

Built and optimized CI/CD platforms using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Argo CD with integrated security tooling (SAST, Trivy, Semgrep), reducing build times by 35% and improving release reliability. Implemented centralized observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Thanos, enabling real-time monitoring, faster incident detection, and reduced MTTR/MTTD across distributed systems.

Currently contributing to platform engineering at Nymcard, working on AI-driven observability and investigation systems to accelerate root-cause analysis and improve production debugging across 8+ Kubernetes clusters. Experienced in operating large-scale Kubernetes environments, database systems (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ), and reliability-focused infrastructure.

Strong focus on building secure, scalable, and automated platforms, with hands-on experience in cloud migrations (Kafka to MSK, Azure Functions to EKS), disaster recovery, compliance enforcement, and performance optimization. Passionate about AIOps, Kubernetes policy enforcement (OPA/Gatekeeper), and improving developer experience through platform engineering.
