Site Reliability Engineer (CKA/CKAD) - Dinesh Pekala, open to opportunities

[Dinesh Pekala]

Hi There,

My name is Dinesh Pekala — a Kubernetes-focused Cloud Engineer with 3+
years of hands-on production experience running AWS EKS at scale. I'm
reaching out to express my interest in Cloud Engineer, Kubernetes
Engineer, or Platform Engineering roles you may be hiring for.

Here's what I bring:

Kubernetes at Scale
Owned reliability for 50+ microservices across multi-cluster AWS EKS
at CGI Technologies — implemented RBAC, HPA/VPA autoscaling, pod
disruption budgets, OPA Gatekeeper policies, and ArgoCD GitOps
pipelines sustaining 99.9% uptime with RTO under 15 minutes.

Cloud Infrastructure & IaC
Architected and automated AWS infrastructure (EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, IAM)
using Terraform and Helm, cutting infrastructure toil by 35% and
deployment failures by 40% via automated CI/CD with rollback triggers.

Observability & Reliability
Built a full-stack observability platform with Prometheus, Grafana,
and ELK Stack — reduced MTTD by 40%, eliminated 30% false-positive
alerts, and cut RCA time by 50% across production clusters.

AI-Augmented Platform Operations
Deployed a production Generative AI inference platform on EKS (vLLM,
Ray Serve) with GPU-aware scheduling and an LLM-powered incident
pipeline — saving 4+ hours of on-call toil per week.

Core Stack
AWS (EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, IAM) · Kubernetes (RBAC, HPA/VPA, Helm,
Kustomize) · Terraform · ArgoCD · Prometheus · Grafana · Python · Bash

Certifications
CKA · CKAD · KCNA · AWS Cloud Practitioner | MS in Computer Science,
University of Illinois Springfield (May 2026)

I'm detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and passionate about
building resilient Kubernetes platforms that teams can actually rely
on. I'd welcome a 15-minute conversation if any of this fits roles on
your radar — now or in the future.
