About Nithish Kumar

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing, automating, and scaling cloud-native infrastructure across Azure and AWS. My focus is simple: remove manual bottlenecks, strengthen reliability, and help engineering teams ship faster with confidence. From Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines to infrastructure as code and observability, I build the systems that keep modern applications running smoothly behind the scenes.At Wipro, I’ve helped deliver cloud platforms for global banking and retail organizations, where uptime, security, and speed are non-negotiable. I’ve designed CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment time by up to 40%, implemented Terraform-driven infrastructure across Azure and AWS, and built Kubernetes environments (AKS/EKS) with autoscaling, monitoring, and secure release workflows. By introducing centralized logging and proactive alerting using ELK, Prometheus, and Grafana, I improved incident response efficiency by 45% and helped teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive reliability.I’m excited about building highly automated, resilient, and cost-efficient cloud platforms at scale. I’m looking to contribute to teams that value DevOps culture, platform engineering, and continuous improvement—where I can help accelerate delivery, strengthen reliability, and enable teams to ship faster and safer.
