About Satyam Nalawade

DevOps Engineer | Certified Kubernetes Administrator | Infrastructure Automation | AWS Certified Solutions ArchitectDesigning scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud platforms using modern DevOps practices, automation, and cloud-native tooling.Highlights Cloud & Kubernetes EngineeringExperienced in architecting and operating production-grade Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS and GKE, managing microservices at scale with Helm, ArgoCD, and Argo Rollouts for progressive and reliable deployments. Ephemeral GitHub Runners on GCPBuilt elastic runners that auto-provision on pipeline triggers using webhooks—cutting CI/CD runtime and cost while ensuring clean, ephemeral environments. CI/CD AutomationDesigned efficient pipelines with GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins, delivering faster releases, safer rollbacks, and fully automated infrastructure deployments. Multi-Account Cloud ArchitectureManaged large-scale AWS footprints (9+ accounts) using Terraform, Terragrunt, and Terramate, implementing centralized SSO, policy control, reusable modules, and secure cross-account networking. Security by DesignIntegrated IAM best practices, automated secret rotation with External Secrets Operator, and implemented container vulnerability scanning with Trivy and SonarCloud, strengthening DevSecOps across environments. Observability & PerformanceImplemented monitoring with Datadog, Prometheus, and CloudWatch, enabling proactive alerting, custom metrics HPA, and significantly faster incident resolution. Cost Optimization & EfficiencyReduced cloud costs with intelligent load balancer consolidation, autoscaling strategies, and workload right-sizing—improving performance while controlling spend. Database & Mission-Critical OperationsExecuted near-zero-downtime Aurora migration, ensuring continuity and reliability for high-availability systems.🤝 Collaboration & OwnershipWork closely with developers, product teams, and SREs to streamline delivery processes, improve reliability, and build infrastructure that supports rapid growth.Passionate About- Cloud-native design & automation- Scalable and resilient infrastructure- GitOps workflows and Kubernetes excellence- Continuous learning and sharing knowledge
