Know Me More
"Building audit-ready, scalable infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Specializing in DevSecOps and SOC 1 / SOC 2 compliance."
Currently serving as Lead DevOps Engineer at a multinational company, I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience building enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. Holding AWS Solutions Architect, ISO 27001, and Cisco CyberOps certifications, I've helped organizations achieve SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance while deploying production systems across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, government data centers, and on-premise environments. My Master's in Network Cryptography ensures security is built into every CI/CD pipeline and layer of infrastructure I design.

What Clients Say
Migrating our legacy monolith to containerized microservices seemed impossible until we worked with Khimananda. He created a phased migration strategy, set up our Kubernetes clusters on GKE, implemented GitOps workflows, and trained our team on the new stack. Six months later, our deployments are faster, our infrastructure is more reliable, and our dev team is happier. Worth every dollar.
Khimananda rebuilt our entire CI/CD pipeline and cut our AWS costs by 40% without sacrificing performance. His deep understanding of cost optimization strategies - right-sizing instances, implementing auto-scaling, and optimizing storage - saved us over $60,000 annually. He also set up comprehensive monitoring so we can see exactly where our money goes. Best investment we made this year.
We needed to achieve SOC 2 compliance quickly for a major enterprise deal. Khimananda delivered audit-ready infrastructure with proper access controls, automated logging, and complete documentation in under 3 months. His ISO 27001 certification and hands-on compliance experience made the difference. Our auditors were impressed with how well-prepared our systems were.
Khimananda transformed our infrastructure from a maintenance nightmare into a streamlined, automated system. His expertise in Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines reduced our deployment time from hours to minutes. What impressed me most was his ability to anticipate scaling challenges before they became problems. He's not just executing tasks, he's thinking architecturally about long-term stability.
Skilled in DevOps and cloud engineering, delivering efficient pipelines, stable deployments, and scalable cloud solutions.

I provide comprehensive DevOps and cloud infrastructure services including cloud architecture design (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD pipeline automation, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible), SOC 1/2 compliance implementation, security hardening, monitoring and observability setup, system migrations, and cost optimization. I work with both greenfield projects and existing infrastructure modernization.
I offer flexible engagement models based on project needs: hourly rates for ongoing support and consulting, fixed-price for well-defined projects with clear scope, and monthly retainers for continuous infrastructure management. Rates vary depending on project complexity, timeline, and technology stack. Contact me for a detailed quote tailored to your specific requirements. Payment terms typically include an upfront deposit for new clients.
I work with organizations of all sizes - from early-stage startups building their first production infrastructure to enterprises managing complex multi-cloud environments. My experience spans government data centers, multinational corporations, and high-growth SaaS companies. Whether you're deploying your first Kubernetes cluster or optimizing existing infrastructure at scale, I can help.
