Hi, I’m Hass Shaukat, a Principal DevOps Engineer and SRE based in Columbus, OH. I design secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and champion GitOps, observability, and security automation across AWS, Azure, and GCP to help teams deliver reliable software faster while maintaining HIPAA-compliant environments.
I enjoy mentoring teams, simplifying complex systems, and driving automation that reduces drift and incidents. My focus is on building resilient, cost-efficient cloud-native solutions through IaC, Kubernetes, and automated incident response, with a strong emphasis on operational excellence and security-first design.
