Kirtan Thummar
Cloud-Native / DevOps Engineer
Cloud engineer who turns ideas into reliable, low-cost AWS platforms, built 10 production repos, codified EKS clusters, and cut spend 70 % through spot + caching. Three years designing secure, scalable infrastructure, now ready to ship resilient systems that save money and recover in seconds.
Vision Beyond Reality
About Me
With three years of hands-on cloud experience, I design and operate AWS-native platforms, multi-account organizations, EKS clusters, serverless pipelines 100 % codified in Terraform, averaging ≤ $3 daily cost and cutting AI workloads 70 % via ElastiCache caching; AWS SAA (Nov 2025) and CKAD (Jan 2026), lots of GitHub commits, Go/Python micro-services ≤ 50 ms p99, full-stack Next.js when needed, and observability stacks that recover in seconds.
Tech Stack & Expertise
Technologies I work with daily
What I Do
My areas of expertise
Cloud Architecture
Multi-account AWS, Well-Architected pillars, infra-cost ≤$5/day. Design scalable, secure infrastructure.
DevOps & GitOps
Zero-click pipelines, PR→Prod in <10 min, 100% IaC. ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Terraform automation.
Security & Compliance
IAM least-privilege, KMS, Secrets rotation, SCPs, Config rules. Zero security audit findings.
Observability & FinOps
Prometheus, Grafana, real-time cost dashboards, 70% waste cut. Monitor everything, optimize spend.
Platform Engineering
Reusable TF modules, Helm charts, docs-as-code, developer portals. Build platforms teams love.
UX Polish
Clean dashboards, dark-mode, 40% faster page loads (SSR + edge). Engineering that feels good.
Featured Work
A curated selection of projects showcasing innovation, design excellence, and technical expertise
eks-argo-gitops
Production-Grade EKS Cluster with GitOps Automation
