About Me.
Building Robust Systems & Scalable Infrastructure
Site Reliability Engineer
Nishant Kamal
Site Reliability Engineer working extensively with cloud-native and Kubernetes-based distributed systems at scale — handling production reliability, mitigating outages during high-traffic events, and building resilient platform infrastructure.
I was never the smartest in the room — I just never left until I was.
Always eager to collaborate on DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering initiatives — whether it's infrastructure design, automation strategies, or building resilient, scalable systems.
Technical Stack
& Ecosystem.
Work that
moves the needle.
Deployed scalable, highly available infrastructure on AWS EKS with integrated monitoring via Prometheus, New Relic, and Grafana for proactive issue resolution. Streamlined CI/CD pipelines by integrating FluxCD and GitHub Actions, enhancing automation and improving deployment cycles across teams. Leveraged Helm Charts to automate application deployments, manage Kubernetes resources, and simplify infrastructure-as-code processes.
Implemented Karpenter for dynamic scaling, effectively replacing the Auto Scaling Group (ASG), optimizing resource utilization, and improving cost efficiency across the Kubernetes environment. Deployed multiple microservices using Karpenter for autoscaling while ensuring seamless traffic management. Implemented cost-saving measures by optimizing resource utilization across all cloud-based infrastructure environments.
Designed and executed a proof-of-concept for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and successfully deployed the first production environment. Deployed Karpenter on OCI to automate node provisioning and manage compute costs efficiently through intelligent bin-packing. Deployed Istio, Virtual Services, and Gateways to manage traffic routing and enhance microservices communication within Kubernetes clusters, streamlining service mesh configurations. Resolved all QA-reported issues to achieve a stable, live deployment.
Led decommissioning of the old Azure Container Registry and migrated all assets to a new ACR instance. Executed a full audit and cleanup of stale and unused images, reducing storage bloat and eliminating legacy registry dependencies across all pipelines. Troubleshot production issues effectively, working closely with development teams to implement solutions that improved system uptime and minimized downtime throughout the migration.
Built a Helm-based centralized alerting system improving monitoring consistency across 50+ services. Reduced MTTR by establishing unified runbooks, alert routing rules, and escalation policies. Conducted root-cause analyses after major incidents to identify areas for process improvement or technical enhancement. Enhanced system reliability by implementing monitoring tools and automation techniques. Proactively identified performance bottlenecks, working on continuous improvements to system resilience and reliability.
Implemented Crossplane across Oracle Cloud (OCI) and Azure to standardise infrastructure definitions and eliminate manual provisioning. Created reusable Compositions and XRDs enabling developer self-service for on-demand cloud environments. Reduced provisioning time by 40–60% and improved reproducibility across both cloud providers.
Building on Engineering Excellence.
