Vikas Raswate – DevOps Engineer | Cloud & Platform Engineering

// WHO I AM

About Me

Production-deployed DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience designing, automating, and operating secure, scalable, and highly available cloud-native platforms across AWS and Azure. Proven track record of delivering zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines, GitOps-driven Kubernetes deployments, and fully reproducible Terraform infrastructure for international clients (US and Australia). Experienced as solo DevOps engineer owning end-to-end platform engineering at a startup — from pipeline design and container orchestration to DevSecOps implementation and production SaaS deployment.

Currently employed by Zaltix Soft Solutions (Hyderabad, Full-Time), and successfully delivered a formal contracted enterprise DevOps engagement for Mansoor International Development Services (MIDS, USA) under a signed Software Development Agreement — all acceptance criteria met and signed off. Continuing as sole DevOps engineer on a live production SaaS platform for an Australian client. Adept at working across time zones, following enterprise SOPs, and delivering results independently with zero supervision.
