Hi, I'm Vikas. I bring over 15+ years of hands-on software engineering and infrastructure experience to the table. Starting my career as a developer in 2010 before transitioning to DevOps in 2013, I have spent the last decade building, scaling, and rescuing complex cloud architectures. I currently manage and lead a high-performing technical team of 10, bridging the gap between heavy technical execution and business scaling. My core expertise lies in AWS, EKS orchestration, and building bulletproof CI/CD pipelines that actually let developers sleep at night. I use Topmate specifically for three things: Architecture Teardowns: Helping early-stage founders architect for scale and avoid massive, six-figure AWS billing mistakes. Career Scaling: Running brutal, real-world mock interviews to help mid-level engineers crack Senior/Lead DevOps roles. Leadership Mentorship: Guiding technical ICs through the exact blueprint of transitioning into Engineering Management. I don't do fluff or textbook theories. Bring your exact bottlenecks, and let's solve them.
