Hi, I’m Deepak Kumar’s AI assistant. Here’s Deepak in one minute.

Deepak is a Senior SRE and DevOps engineer at Nagarro in Gurugram, India, with nearly four years of keeping cloud platforms reliable, secure and cost-efficient.

He runs AWS and Kubernetes platforms for global R&D teams across five regions: 99.9% uptime for more than 5,000 users, deployments 40% faster and cloud costs down 15%, built on Terraform, AWS CDK and solid CI/CD.

When production breaks, he leads the response. He has handled more than 50 P1 and P2 incidents and cut recovery time by 20% with better observability.

He also builds AI tools for engineers, from MCP integrations to a DevOps automation platform on AWS Bedrock.

He’s open to Forward Deployed Engineer, Senior SRE and platform roles. Scroll down for the details, or ask me anything.

I embed with engineering teams to ship AI tools they actually adopt: MCP integrations, Bedrock agents and RAG for operations, running on AWS and Kubernetes platforms I keep reliable, secure and cost-efficient.

Now building: AI agents on AWS Bedrock, MCP tool integrations, RAG for operations, reliable Kubernetes platforms

Cost-aware LLM engineering

Designs LLM tools around token usage and cost, and ran an internal AI community session on practical adoption and engineering productivity.

AI inside the tools teams use

Connects models to GitLab, Jira, Confluence, Miro, Nexus, Snyk and Black Duck through MCP, so the assistant works where people already work.

Secure by default

Secret and token lifecycle management, least-privilege IAM and RBAC, and automated revocation of compromised credentials.

Forward Deployed Engineering

Ready to deploy forward

I haven’t held the FDE title yet, but the work is what I already do: embed with users, find the real problem, and ship working software into their environment.

  1. 1DiscoverSit with the users, find the real bottleneck.
  2. 2BuildPrototype fast on their own stack and data.
  3. 3DeployShip into their environment: VPNs, IAM, zero-downtime cutovers.
  4. 4OperateSLOs, observability and on-call until it is boring.
  5. 5ScaleTurn the fix into a reusable tool, module or MCP server.

Embedded with global teams

Embedded with global R&D teams across the Americas, EMEIA, China, Finland and the UK, owning the platforms and tools they depend on

Ships tools people adopt

Builds working tools directly for users: internal R&D bot (Black Duck, Snyk, GitLab, Miro), Nexus MCP integration for AI-assisted workflows, Lambda/S3 chatbot for 5,000+ users, self-service Miro provisioning, 100+ Atlassian Forge macros

Delivers in real environments

Hands-on with customer-facing delivery: migrations with zero data loss (700+ Atlassian users, GitLab instances) and zero-downtime AWS cutovers

Speaks to leadership

Presents to senior leadership and global stakeholders; runs knowledge-sharing and an internal AI adoption session; mentors engineers (topmate.io, Preplaced)

Builds AI end to end

Builds AI systems end to end: enterprise DevOps AI automation platform (MCP + AWS Bedrock), RAG support platform, AI-driven Kubernetes token-theft detection

SonarQube · Snyk · Black Duck · token revocation in <3s

Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer who keeps cloud platforms reliable, secure and cheap at scale: 99.9% uptime for 5,000+ users across 5 global regions, 15% cloud cost cut, 40% faster deployments. Over 3+ years at Nagarro he has owned reliability and platform engineering for AWS + Kubernetes (EKS) environments supporting mission-critical R&D tools across the Americas, EMEIA, China, Finland and the UK, with 95% SLA compliance. Strong ownership under pressure with a bias for automation: if a task is manual and repeated, he turns it into a pipeline, a module or a self-service tool. Enjoys mentoring engineers, running knowledge-sharing sessions and presenting to senior leadership and global stakeholders.
