AWS | DevOps | Kubernetes — Manager

Welcome

I'm Prateek, an AWS, DevOps, and Kubernetes manager with 8 years of hands-on experience designing cloud platforms, automating delivery pipelines, and leading teams that ship reliable infrastructure at scale.

☁️ Cloud Architecture

Multi-account AWS landing zones, high-availability designs, and governance with Control Tower and SCPs.

💰 Cost Optimization

Automated tagging, right-sizing, and lifecycle policies that keep cloud spend accountable and under control.

🚀 CI/CD & Kubernetes

GitHub Actions pipelines, containerized workloads, and resilient deployments on Kubernetes clusters.

About Me

I lead cloud and platform engineering initiatives with a focus on AWS, DevOps practices, and Kubernetes. Over 8 years, I've built and operated production environments—from landing zones and multi-account governance to automated CI/CD and container orchestration.

Prateek - AWS, DevOps & Kubernetes Manager

Background

My career spans infrastructure architecture, DevOps automation, and team leadership. I work at the intersection of cloud economics, security, and delivery velocity—ensuring platforms are secure, cost-efficient, and easy for engineering teams to adopt.

What I Focus On

  • Reliability: Highly available, resilient AWS architectures
  • Governance: Multi-account setups with Control Tower, SCPs, and guardrails
  • Automation: Event-driven tagging, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code
  • Efficiency: Continuous cost optimization across compute, storage, and backups

Beyond Work

I stay current with cloud-native tooling, contribute to platform standards, and mentor engineers on AWS, DevOps, and Kubernetes best practices.

Experience

8+ years delivering cloud infrastructure, DevOps automation, and Kubernetes-based platforms for enterprise workloads.

Core Domains

AWS Cloud

Landing zones, Control Tower, SCPs, VPC design, HA architectures, IAM, CloudTrail, Lambda, EventBridge, EC2, EBS, and backup strategies.

DevOps & CI/CD

GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform, pipeline design, GitOps patterns, and automated deployments to Kubernetes.

Kubernetes & Containers

Cluster operations, workload deployment, image pipelines, and production-ready container platforms on AWS.

Cost & FinOps

Resource tagging automation, right-sizing, unused resource cleanup, and backup policy design for cost control.

Leadership & Delivery

  • Define cloud standards and reusable patterns for engineering teams
  • Drive cross-account governance and security baselines
  • Own platform reliability, observability, and incident readiness
  • Partner with stakeholders on roadmap, cost targets, and delivery timelines

Key Projects

Selected work across cost optimization, AWS architecture, and CI/CD on Kubernetes.

Cost Optimization

Automatic Resource Tagging

Built an event-driven solution using CloudTrail, Lambda, and EventBridge to capture the creator of AWS resources and apply consistent tags automatically—improving cost allocation, accountability, and chargeback reporting.

Cloud Spend Reduction

Led cost optimization initiatives including EC2 right-sizing, identification and removal of unused EBS volumes, and design of backup policies that balance recovery requirements with storage costs.

AWS Architectures

Multi-Account Landing Zone

Implemented an AWS landing zone with Control Tower and Service Control Policies (SCPs) for a secure, scalable multi-account organization with centralized governance and guardrails.

High Availability & Resilience

Designed and delivered HA and resilient AWS architectures across availability zones—with fault-tolerant networking, automated recovery patterns, and production-ready operational runbooks.

CI/CD

GitHub Actions → Kubernetes

Created GitHub Actions pipelines to build, test, and deploy Docker images into Kubernetes clusters—with automated promotions, environment-specific configs, and repeatable release workflows.

Platform Automation & GitOps

Extended delivery automation with Terraform and Helm for infrastructure and application releases—enabling consistent, auditable deployments across environments on Kubernetes.
