Anish K.

My DevOps journey began in the cloud trenches at AWS, where I helped enterprise clients modernize legacy systems and deploy secure, scalable infrastructure. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve transformed monolithic applications into microservices on ECS and EKS, automated cloud infrastructure with Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation, and built CI/CD pipelines that slash deployment times by up to 80%. I’m passionate about blending security into every phase of DevOps from implementing SAST and secrets scanning in GitHub Actions to enforcing policy-as-code with OPA and managing secure EKS clusters with CIS compliance. One of my proudest achievements was leading the UPI app modernization project, where I turned a week-long deployment into a pipeline that ships in minutes. My work goes beyond deployment, I design resilient architectures, optimize observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and New Relic, and secure hybrid cloud environments with VPNs, Direct Connect, and IAM best practices. Whether it's automating AWS Control Tower setup, scaling Kubernetes with Karpenter, or securing pipelines with tools like Falco and CrowdStrike, I strive to make systems more efficient, secure, and future-ready. I’ve shared my knowledge through published books like Mastering Terraform and AWS CDK for Infrastructure Automation, and I stay engaged with the community through conferences like KubeCon and AWS Summit. If you need someone who can bridge the gap between development and operations while baking security and scalability into every layer, I’m your engineer.
