About Me

Your Team's
DevOps Engineer

I'm Akshay Ghalme — an AWS DevOps Engineer currently at BytePhase Technologies, where I manage production infrastructure for a multi-tenant SaaS platform serving 1000+ customer subdomains with 99.9% uptime.

I've reduced AWS costs by ~80% through architectural optimization, built zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines, and designed secure VPC architectures. I bring hands-on expertise in Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and the full AWS ecosystem.

The Problem → The Solution → The Result

Problem

AWS bill was growing unchecked — oversized instances, unused resources, no reserved capacity planning, and inefficient traffic routing patterns.

What I Did

Audited the full AWS infrastructure. Right-sized EC2 instances based on actual usage patterns. Migrated all EBS volumes from gp2 to gp3. Implemented Reserved Instance planning. Redesigned traffic routing to eliminate redundant data transfer costs.

Result

~80% reduction in monthly AWS spend — without any performance degradation. Savings compounded every month.

1000+ Subdomain Architecture

Multi-tenant SaaS at scale

Problem

SaaS platform needed to serve 1000+ repair businesses, each with their own subdomain — while keeping data isolated, performance consistent, and security audit-ready.

What I Did

Designed secure VPC architecture with public/private subnet segmentation. Deployed RDS in private subnets with VPC peering. Enforced least-privilege IAM across all services. Zero public database exposure.

Result

99.9% uptime across 1000+ subdomains. Passed all security audits. Zero data breaches. Architecture scaled without re-engineering.

Zero-Downtime Deployments

CI/CD pipeline automation

Problem

Deployments were manual, error-prone, and required maintenance windows. Each release risked downtime for 1000+ active customers.

What I Did

Built Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, build triggers, health checks, and rollback mechanisms. Containerized services with Docker for environment parity.

Result

Zero-downtime deployments with automated rollback. No manual intervention during releases. Consistent deployments across dev, staging, and production.

Full-Stack Observability

Monitoring & incident detection

Problem

No centralized monitoring. Incidents were discovered by customers before the team. Mean time to detect (MTTD) was unacceptably high.

What I Did

Implemented CloudWatch for AWS-native metrics, Prometheus for custom application metrics, and Grafana for unified dashboards. Set up alerting for proactive incident detection.

Result

Dramatically reduced MTTD. Team now detects and responds to issues before customers notice. Full visibility across the entire stack.

What I Do

Core Expertise

The skills and areas I work with every day to build, manage, and optimize cloud infrastructure.

AWS Infrastructure

Production-grade AWS architecture — VPCs, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, ALB, ElastiCache. Multi-AZ deployments with security-first design.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated build-test-deploy pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD. Zero-downtime deployments with rollback mechanisms and health checks.

Cost Optimization

AWS bill auditing, instance right-sizing, gp2→gp3 migrations, Reserved Instance planning, and architecture redesign. Achieved ~80% cost reduction.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform modules, CloudFormation templates, Terragrunt — version-controlled, reproducible infrastructure across dev, staging, and production.

Security & Compliance

Trivy scanning, Cosign image signing, Syft SBOM, Checkov IaC scanning, Kyverno policies, least-privilege IAM, private subnet DB deployments.

Monitoring & Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch. Full-stack observability with SLO burn-rate alerts and distributed tracing.

Projects

What I've Built

Open-source projects demonstrating production-grade DevOps practices.
