Engineer for production, not just for demos.

Girish Burade

Senior DevOps / Cloud Engineer

5+ years experience · 5+ years

I design, automate and operate production AWS infrastructure. My day-to-day spans CI/CD pipeline engineering, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Docker and Amazon ECS/ECR, and monitoring with CloudWatch — plus Linux, networking, security and cost optimization work that keeps production healthy.

  • Automation mindsetIf I have to do it twice, I automate it — Terraform, shell and Python.
  • Production deploymentsRelease workflows with CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, ECR and CI/CD tooling.
  • Reliability & monitoringCloudWatch alarms, SNS and uptime monitoring to catch issues before users do.
  • Security & costIAM least privilege, Secrets Manager, KMS, AWS Config and FinOps practices.

Work closely with developers. Blameless postmortems and shared ownership — "you build it, you run it."

automate-first

Repeatable, reviewable infrastructure over manual steps.

How I ship to production.

The reference pattern I build and run on AWS — from commit to monitored workload. Hover or tap a node to inspect it.

ci/cd pipeline

From commit to monitored release.

AWS deployment flow · reference architecture
  1. CodeGit Changes are committed and pushed to version control.
  2. RepoGitHub · GitLab A push to the main branch triggers the pipeline automatically.
  3. BuildAWS CodeBuild · GitLab CI/CD · GitHub Actions Builds and validates the application before deployment.
  4. TestPipeline test stage Standardized test stage plus automated security and vulnerability checks.
  5. ImageDocker The application is packaged into a versioned container image.
  6. ECRAmazon ECR Images are pushed to a private registry, ready to roll out.
  7. DeployAWS CodeDeploy · Amazon ECS Automated rollout with rollback handling — no manual steps.
  8. EC2 / ASGAmazon EC2 · Auto Scaling · Docker Compose Services run isolated; secrets are injected from AWS Secrets Manager at startup.
  9. HealthHealth checks Health checks confirm the new release is serving correctly.
  10. MonitorCloudWatch · SNS · Uptime Kuma Metrics, logs and alarms notify the team before users notice.

    Senior DevOps / Cloud Engineer

    Quralyst AI by Indago Research

    Infrastructure: production AWS on EC2 for an AI-driven deal-sourcing platform — containers, release automation, TLS, secrets and alerting.

    • EC2
    • Docker
    • Compose
    • CodeBuild
    • CodeDeploy
    • ECR
    • Nginx
    • Secrets Manager
    • CloudWatch
    • SNS
    • JumpCloud
    • Built and operate production AWS infrastructure on EC2, running frontend, backend, scraper and Redis workloads as isolated Docker and Docker Compose services.
    • Implemented end-to-end deployment automation with AWS CodeDeploy, CodeBuild and Amazon ECR, removing manual deployment steps.
    • Configured Nginx as a reverse proxy with domain-based HTTP/HTTPS routing and SSL/TLS termination.
    • Integrated AWS Secrets Manager to inject credentials and configuration into containers at startup, eliminating hard-coded secrets.
    More contributions
    • Engineered CloudWatch monitoring, alarms and SNS notifications — including EC2 network-traffic alerting — to detect issues before user impact.
    • Improved stability by isolating browser-based workloads into a dedicated Playwright scraper worker; evaluated Auto Scaling (Launch Templates, ASG, ALB) for scalable tiers.
    • Resolve production incidents end to end across Docker containers, deployments, Nginx, SMTP authentication, CloudWatch alarms and EC2 CPU, memory and disk.
    • Led JumpCloud evaluation and implementation planning with Google Workspace integration and AWS access alignment (MFA, SSO, access control, managed devices).
