About Nitil
I'm a Cloud Engineer with 5 years of experience designing, deploying, and managing secure, cost-effective infrastructure across AWS and Microsoft Azure. I specialize in solving real operational problems with automation — not just standing up infrastructure, but making it self-monitoring, self-healing, and low-maintenance for the teams that rely on it.
A recent example: AWS doesn't offer built-in alerting for SSL certificate expiry. Rather than tracking dozens of certificates manually, I built a serverless monitoring pipeline (Lambda, EventBridge, ACM, SNS) that automatically flags certificates nearing expiry and emails a prioritized report twice a week — eliminating a recurring manual task and the risk of unnoticed expirations. This is the kind of problem-solving I bring to every engagement.
What I work on:
- Multi-cloud infrastructure design and migration (AWS & Azure).
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
- Container orchestration — Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Helm.
- CI/CD pipeline setup and automation (Azure DevOps, Git, GitHub)
- Linux and Windows Server administration, with PowerShell/Bash scripting
- Monitoring, alerting, and incident response automation
- Cost optimization and disaster recovery design
Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03), AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02)
I currently maintain 99.9% uptime SLAs for enterprise production environments and have led migrations reducing infrastructure cost by 25%. I'm reliable, communicate clearly, and treat every project like it needs to run without me checking in on it constantly — because that's what good infrastructure work actually looks like.
Open to remote projects for clients in Dubai and the wider UAE.
