Infrastructure, security and a habit of teaching what I learn.
I’m Suraj Kumar Sah, a Lead DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience across AWS, Azure and GCP, specializing in secure multi-cloud migrations — and a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
I specialize in designing and executing secure, zero-downtime cloud migrations — lifting legacy workloads to modern multi-cloud architectures while enforcing security best practices, compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, CIS Benchmarks), and infrastructure as code across every layer.
Day to day, that means Kubernetes platforms built on EKS, GKE and AKS; GitOps delivery through ArgoCD; infrastructure defined in Terraform; and the security tooling — Wazuh, Trivy, OWASP ZAP, AWS GuardDuty and Macie — that keeps all of it accountable.
Beyond migrations, I actively contribute to cloud and systems security research, hold two published IEEE papers, and have two years of university teaching experience. I’m passionate about open-source and knowledge sharing.
