Shivan Malde

I’m a London-based DevOps Manager and Platform Engineer with a proven track record of delivering scalable and reliable infrastructure solutions. Over the past 7 years in the software industry, including 5 in a dedicated DevOps role — I have honed my skills in automation and optimization of the software development lifecycle through CI/CD using tools such as Terraform and Azure DevOps. I specialize in designing, implementing, and maintaining infrastructure on cloud platforms like Azure and AWS, with a particular focus on cloud native solutions like serverless functions, Docker, and Kubernetes. Passionate about using technology to enhance efficiency, reliability, and security of software systems.
