Open to DevOps & Platform roles

Hi, I'm Umesh Khatiwada

>

I build cloud platforms that ship themselves: Kubernetes infrastructure, GitOps pipelines, Go microservices and AI agents that watch production and hand engineers the fix before they open a dashboard. 4+ years across SaaS, gaming and media.

What I do

Engineering across the whole delivery path

Platform & DevOps

CI/CD and GitOps pipelines, Infrastructure as Code and self-service deploy platforms.

ArgoCDTerraformGitHub Actions

Kubernetes & Cloud

Multi-tenant clusters, vclusters, operators, network policies and backup/DR on AWS, GCP and Azure.

K8sHelmVelero

Go Backend

Clean-architecture microservices with REST, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSockets and Auth0/Keycloak.

GogRPCKafka

AI Agents & Automation

LLM-powered n8n agents that triage alerts, scan for vulnerabilities and propose fixes for SREs.

AI in operations

An AI agent on the on-call rotation

A workflow I run at BerryBytes: when a Kubernetes alert fires, an n8n agent collects context, reasons over it with an LLM and sends the engineer a diagnosis and suggested fix.
