About Me

I'm Babulal Shaik, a seasoned Cloud & Kubernetes Engineer with deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), and DevOps. With over a decade of experience in cloud infrastructure, containerization, and site reliability engineering (SRE), I specialize in building and managing highly available, scalable, and secure cloud solutions.

Currently, at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I work as a Cloud Support Engineer II, helping customers design and optimize cloud architectures, troubleshoot complex issues, and enhance system reliability. My focus areas include Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, AWS automation, and CI/CD pipelines. I have also led root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents, improved observability with Prometheus & Grafana, and implemented cost optimization strategies using Python-based solutions.

Beyond my AWS role, I have a strong Linux background, having worked as a Sr. Linux/Unix Systems Administrator at IBM, JP Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. My experience ranges from OS-level troubleshooting and network optimization to building highly available Linux environments.

I'm passionate about mentoring engineers, conducting AWS Kubernetes bootcamps, and sharing my expertise through technical training sessions. I hold multiple Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS), AWS certifications, and a Prometheus Certified Associate (PCA) certification.

Whether it's designing fault-tolerant architectures, automating cloud infrastructure, or solving complex SRE challenges, I thrive in building robust, scalable, and cost-efficient solutions that empower businesses.
