Vaibhav Karad – DevOps Portfolio & AI-Driven Workflows

About Me

I build secure, observable & auto scaling cloud platforms that let product teams ship faster with reliability, governance & cost clarity built-in.

Automation

GitHub → Kubernetes pipelines, policy-as-code & reusable infra modules cut toil and speed delivery.

Resilience & Security

Shift-left security, multi-cloud patterns & zero-downtime release strategies harden critical services.

Observability

Metrics, tracing & SLO guardrails surface risks early and protect customer experience.

Enablement

Mentoring, docs & internal tooling turn platform capability into daily developer habit.

Beyond the stack I translate complexity into crisp, data-backed decisions that move engineering & business together.
