Vivek Thakur

I’m a results-driven Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps engineer with 4+ years of experience building automated, reliable infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. I design CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes-ready platforms, and Infrastructure-as-Code solutions to keep deployments fast and dependable.

At Orange Business, I architected multi-stage CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD and Azure Pipelines—enabling 10+ daily deployments with a 99.9% success rate and zero-downtime releases. With reusable Terraform IaC modules across multiple Azure subscriptions, I reduced provisioning time by 94% (from 4 hours to 15 minutes) while also cutting infrastructure costs by 25% through resource optimization and predictive VM auto-scaling.

I build observability that teams can act on: I’ve deployed Prometheus/Grafana across 100+ production services, reducing MTTR by 40%. I also lead automation using Ansible for Windows Server operations and diagnostics, improving both speed and consistency for production workloads.

I’ve additionally owned the infra team’s execution as a Product Owner—managing the Jira backlog, defining user stories, and driving sprint planning—so teams adopt self-service workflows. I’m especially focused on platforms that deliver measurable uptime (up to 99.9% SLAs) and simplify operations through automation.
