About Nishant Gupta

I build infrastructure that doesn\'t fail — and automates everything that doesn\'t need a human. With 4+ years in Cloud & DevOps engineering across Successive Digital and UKG, I\'ve operated at the intersection of reliability, automation, and cloud-native architecture. My work spans managing 50+ microservices on Kubernetes, optimising Azure to handle 10 million daily requests, and reducing deployment cycles by 40% through robust CI/CD pipelines. What I\'ve delivered:• 50% increase in infrastructure scalability via Kubernetes implementation• 75% reduction in manual effort through Terraform-driven Infrastructure as Code• 90% improvement in system stability as SRE across production environments• 35% reduction in build-to-release time using JFrog Artifactory + Gradle at UKG Tech I work with daily:Cloud: AWS • Microsoft Azure • Google Cloud Platform (GKE, Cloud SQL, GCS)Containers: Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE) • Docker • Helm • ArgoCDIaC: Terraform • Ansible • CloudFormationCI/CD: GitHub Actions • Jenkins • Azure DevOps • JFrog Artifactory • GradleObservability: Prometheus • Grafana • ELK Stack • CloudWatchSecurity: OWASP Dependency Check • Trivy • DevSecOps pipelines Certified: 3x Google Cloud • AWS Cloud Practitioner • Azure Fundamentals • HashiCorp Terraform Associate • CKA (in progress) Education: MSc Information Systems & Operations Management, University of Nottingham, UK | BTech Computer Science, GGSIPU, India Open to Senior DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, and Cloud Architect roles in Delhi NCR and remotely.
