Hi, I’m Ninad Desai, a Staff DevOps & Platform Engineer with over a decade plus of experience designing, building, and scaling cloud-native platforms on AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes. I’ve led solution engineering,SRE and platform teams across multiple clients—building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs), leading GitOps and observability transformations, and driving cost and operational efficiencies through automation and FinOps practices. Beyond technology, I’m passionate about mentoring engineers—whether it’s helping someone navigate their DevOps career path, guide for technical interviews, or transition from an individual contributor role to technical leadership. On weekends, I use this space to connect with people who want to learn, grow, or seek practical guidance about career planning, cloud technologies, or real-world platform challenges. If you’re exploring your next career move, building something on Kubernetes, or just need clarity on how to scale yourself or your systems—I’d be happy to chat.
