Hi, I’m Ayush Nihal, a DevOps Engineer focused on automating infrastructure, accelerating CI/CD delivery, and running scalable cloud-native environments. I’m proficient with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and multi-cloud platforms (AWS, OCI, GCP). I also implement reliable monitoring and logging using Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack to keep systems healthy and secure. I thrive in high-velocity engineering teams, turning manual toil into repeatable, secure deployment processes. I enjoy designing robust release pipelines, enabling progressive deliveries, and advising on SRE best practices to improve system reliability and operator efficiency.
