Yash Balani

I’m a DevOps engineer with 3+ YOE building and scaling production platforms that enable reliable software delivery and business growth without compromising developer efficiency or inflating cloud cost. In high-ownership, fast-paced environments, I’ve established cloud platforms from the ground up for AI/ML asynchronous greenfield products, improving reliability, scalability, and security of high-scale SaaS applications.

Most recently, I engineered reusable CI/CD templates organization-wide to reduce developer environment setup time to under 30 minutes and lowered failed production deployments by ~35%. I’ve also integrated HashiCorp Vault into deployment workflows, automated TLS certificate management, and strengthened deployment safety with validation, progressive rollouts, health checks, and rapid rollback mechanisms. Earlier, I spearheaded centralized observability (reducing MTTD by ~40%) and used Python/Bash automation to save 8–10 engineering hours per week, while maintaining reusable Terraform IaC modules and compliance guardrails for multi-environment AWS infrastructure.
