Hello! I'm Vikas

I am a Site Reliability Engineer with over 5 years of experience in managing large-scale systems, Kubernetes, and other DevOps-related technologies such as AWS, Azure, and Jenkins. I recently left my full-time job at LinkedIn to pursue a career in IT consulting. My focus is on designing systems that can work at scale, ensuring maximum uptime, meeting service level agreements (SLAs), and automating infrastructure. I have managed 500+ node Kubernetes clusters with built-in logging, monitoring, and alerting, as well as 1000+ servers using Puppet/Ansible. I have experience in architecting systems that can handle over 100,000 requests per second and have ensured the maximum uptime of these systems.

Speed Optimisation

  • Are you running a web application and your customers are having bad user experience due to slow speed?

​

  • Build code templates that adhere to certain standards. Once the code templates are tuned to your organization - you ensure that the best practices are taken care of and all new projects are forked out of these templates.

  • Your infrastructure is also fine-tuned to integrate seamlessly with these standards. So in process, you build an ecosystem that saves hours and hours of time every single day
