Hey, I'm Vaisakh P. — Cloud Engineer.
I work on AWS infrastructure, cloud operations, automation, and making deployments more reliable. Currently building my experience one real-world problem at a time.

02 / A bit about me
Cloud is more than clicking buttons.
I'm an early-career Cloud Engineer based in Kerala. My work has included AWS infrastructure operations, cloud cost optimisation, monitoring, troubleshooting, and deployment automation across AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
I started in cloud support at F9 Infotech and moved into an Associate Cloud Engineer role at Security Quotient. I'm focused on getting stronger at the fundamentals: Linux, networking, AWS architecture, infrastructure as code, and dependable operations.
I prefer understanding why something broke, documenting the fix, and making the next incident easier to handle—not just closing a ticket.
22%AWS monthly spend reduction reported in my current role
~5×Faster frontend deployment after an OCI DevOps-to-Jenkins migration (about 10 min to 2 min)
03 / Where I've worked
Learning in production.
Early in my career, with hands-on work and plenty more to learn.

04 / Things I've built
Work in progress.
Lessons included.
A few practical projects that show what I've been learning and doing.
PROJECT / 01Cloud · Kubernetes
Scalable application on AWS EKS
Deployed a Flask application to EKS with multiple pods and services. Built a GitHub Actions pipeline to build a Docker image, push it to ECR, and deploy to EKS. Added Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, and tested performance with Hey.
PROJECT / 02AWS · Web hosting
WordPress on AWS
Set up WordPress with a LAMP stack and Amazon RDS. Worked through security group rules and connectivity troubleshooting as part of an infrastructure assignment.
PROJECT / 03Automation
OCI DevOps to Jenkins migration
Migrated a frontend deployment workflow to Jenkins and connected it with OKE behind an OCI Load Balancer, reducing the reported deployment time from around 10 minutes to around 2 minutes.
PROJECT / 04Infrastructure as code
Terraform AWS resources
Practised defining and managing AWS infrastructure resources with Terraform, including EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, and security groups.
