Hello 👋 I’m a Lead DevOps Engineer and Founding DevOps Engineer at a Cloud Governance startup. I help startups set up their cloud infrastructure from Day 1 efficiently, securely, and for scale. Since 2018, I’ve worked with four fast-growing product startups in insurance, CRM (now it's a unicorn 🦄), recruitment, and cloud governance, designing resilient AWS architectures and driving automation excellence. My expertise spans AWS, Terraform-based IaC, Kubernetes/EKS, CI/CD automation, and SRE + FinOps practices, focusing on performance, reliability, and security compliance. Before diving deep into DevOps, I worked as a Full Stack Developer — a developer who transitioned into DevOps — combining both worlds to bridge engineering and operations effectively. I enjoy mentoring engineers and teams, simplifying complex DevOps concepts, and helping new founders to make smarter cloud decisions from day one. More about my work: linkedin.com/in/bhavukbhardwaj
