KhiladiPro ● ongoing — supporting the engineering team on Amazon EKS, Flyte-based workflow orchestration, and GPU orchestration for ML workloads.
Also: researched and presented kro (Kube Resource Orchestrator) at Pod Weekly — a live EKS demo of ResourceGraphDefinitions, CEL-inferred dependency graphs, and kro + ACK orchestrating cloud and cluster resources in one reconciliation loop (write-up).

Architected a Kubernetes-based LLM inference platform on Spot-backed GPUs — scheduling, fault-tolerance and retry strategies sustaining ~80% utilization across 500+ GPUs and driving a ~60% compute cost reduction for large-scale batch AI workloads.
Platform enablement for 40+ engineering teams on Amazon EKS: 150+ clusters, ~1,000 nodes, 30K+ running pods. Designed the centralized ArgoCD GitOps platform managing Kubernetes add-ons for 120+ applications across the fleet, with Argo CD Notifications wired across 100+ projects.
Implemented Amazon Managed Prometheus + Grafana observability for 150+ clusters and ran an internal uptime platform covering 2,500+ endpoints — control-plane, ingress, infra and application metrics, with ingestion aggressively trimmed to keep costs low.
Researched and deployed 50+ Kubernetes add-ons (MinIO, Wiz, Kafka, Redis, Dgraph, S3/EFS CSI, DCGM exporter); built application-focused Terraform modules provisioning 80+ AWS resources through a single pipeline; prototyped EMR on EKS with Karpenter for Spark workloads.

Deployed and operated 100+ applications on Amazon ECS with fully automated CI/CD, and delivered 250+ application deployments on EKS via TeamCity, ArgoCD, Helm and GitOps — making deployments repeatable and boring as teams and clusters multiplied.
Built bulk-upgrade automation patching 500+ CI/CD pipelines in parallel, replacing manual, error-prone updates. Led large-scale migrations — EC2 → ECS/EKS and ECS → EKS — untangling legacy assumptions along the way.
Owned 20+ COTS platforms (Sysdig, Dependency Track, ArgoCD) across ECS/EKS; led the Sysdig POC and enterprise rollout across 500+ products in ~1 month using automated rollout tooling.
