Hello, I'm Jayesh. Savkare - DevOps Engineer
DevOps Engineer who keeps production boring (in the best way). I build resilient infrastructure on AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI - for teams in 10+ countries who'd rather ship features than fight fires.

About me
The short version, a handful of facts, and a few numbers I'm proud of.
I'm a DevOps Engineer with 2+ years running production infrastructure across cloud and on-prem. I work mostly with Kubernetes, Terraform and GitOps - and I care about three things in roughly this order: it should be reliable, it should be predictable, and it shouldn't quietly drain the budget.
At Affinsys AI I look after the infrastructure powering AI-driven platforms used in 10+ countries. That's meant deploying Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI; cutting infra cost by ~65% through right-sizing and rearchitecting; and rebuilding observability so on-call engineers find out about issues ~40% faster.
My philosophy: the best infra is the kind nobody notices. Build systems that heal themselves and you spend less time firefighting, more time shipping. Off the clock you'll find me aquascaping, experimenting with recipes, riding my bike, or taking long walks - because a clear mind makes for better debugging.

04.1 Experience —
-
DevOps Engineer @ Affinsys AI · Bengaluru
- + Designed and deployed production Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI - provisioned end-to-end with Terraform
- + Standardised releases with GitOps (ArgoCD + Helm), turning hours of deployment work into a merge-and-walk-away flow
- + Cut infrastructure cost by ~65% through right-sizing, architecture changes and reserved-capacity planning
- + Rebuilt the observability stack - mean-time-to-detect for production incidents dropped ~40%
- + Led MinIO → SeaweedFS object-storage migration with zero data loss and zero customer-visible downtime
- + Migrated from cloud-managed Postgres to self-hosted CloudNativePG to meet fintech data-residency requirements
-
Associate DevOps Engineer @ Affinsys AI
- + Operated hybrid infrastructure (on-prem + cloud) for global production workloads with strict uptime targets
- + Built and maintained Kubernetes clusters running customer-facing services in APAC and Africa
- + Automated provisioning and deployments using GitOps practices - removed manual release toil from weekly rollouts
- + Owned monitoring and alerting that meaningfully improved system reliability and on-call response time
- + Supported region-by-region rollouts and shared on-call across multiple customer environments
-
DevOps Intern @ Affinsys AI (BankBuddy.ai)
- + Joined the on-call rotation for 24/7 production support of infrastructure and networking
- + Wrote Python automation for monitoring containerised workloads - fewer pages, faster triage
- + Owned deployments on on-premise RHEL servers for enterprise customers in regulated environments
- + Partnered with developers to build performance and automation tests in JMeter
-
Technical Research Analyst Intern @ Intellipaat
- + Cloud Analyst on the AWS team - researched services, wrote content, and broke down concepts for newer learners
-
Student Intern @ Microsoft (Remote)
- + Cloud intern with Microsoft Azure FRT '21 - first proper exposure to enterprise cloud at scale
04.2 Recent projects
Production Kubernetes Platform
Production-grade Kubernetes platform provisioned end-to-end with Terraform on AWS - multi-tenant RBAC, network policies, autoscaling node pools and a baked-in observability stack. Spinning up a fresh cluster is a single PR.
CI/CD & GitOps Pipeline
End-to-end pipeline that builds, scans (Trivy + SonarQube) and deploys via ArgoCD GitOps. Releases are version-controlled and revertible by a single Git revert - what used to be hours of manual work is now a merge button.
Cross-Cloud Infrastructure (IaC)
Reusable Terraform modules covering AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI - networking, Kubernetes, databases and object storage. Same workflow, same patterns, regardless of which cloud the customer landed on.
Observability & Monitoring Stack
Full observability stack - Prometheus + Grafana for metrics, ELK for logs, Alertmanager for routing. Dashboards for cluster health, app performance and capacity planning, plus alerts that actually mean something at 3 AM.

Manager
I had the pleasure of directly managing Jayesh during our time together in our DevOps team and I can confidently say he was one of the most dedicated and growth-oriented juniors I have worked with. He approached every task with curiosity, responsibility, and a strong willingness to learn - actively looking for ways to improve our workflows and often coming forward with ideas that added real value to the team.
Peer
Having worked with Jayesh, I can confidently say his knack for problem solving, his ability to understand and work on systems is commendable. We worked together for multiple clients with both on-premise and cloud infrastructure needs and Jayesh was easy to work with - executing instructions and requests flawlessly.
Education
Formal degree - the foundation under every cluster I've touched since.
B.Tech - Computer Science & Engineering
Lovely Professional University · Jalandhar, Punjab
- + Specialisation track in DevOps
- + Four-year programme aligned with industry-focused applied CS
- + Graduated - same curiosity that started here still drives how I operate infra today
