Summary
Vikash Kaushik is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Bengaluru with five years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. He specializes in Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, Ansible and CI/CD automation, and has a track record of improving platform reliability, governance (Kyverno) and deployment efficiency through infrastructure-as-code and observability. A KubeAstronaut and multiple Microsoft- and Red Hat-certified professional, he pairs system administration depth with customer-facing architecture and troubleshooting—often reproducing customer environments to resolve complex production issues. At Nirmata he reduced policy violations by 40% and increased deployment efficiency by 30%, and in his current role he’s deployed GPU-backed nodes for LLM workloads and built GitHub Actions pipelines for production-grade CI/CD. He’s equally comfortable mentoring teams and writing the automation scripts that prevent 3 a.m. incidents, and he brings a practical MLOps interest and Go/Linux affinity that informs his platform choices.
