I'm Prasad Takale

Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and operating secure, scalable cloud platforms on AWS, including regulated GovCloud environments aligned with FedRAMP standards. My work focuses on Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform-based infrastructure as code, CI/CD automation, and DevSecOps practices for large-scale microservices platforms.

I specialize in building reliable infrastructure platforms, automating multi-environment deployments, and integrating security directly into delivery pipelines. My work has delivered measurable impact across production systems:

  • 30% improvement in deployment reliability
  • 35–50% reduction in infrastructure provisioning time
  • 40% reduction in external security exposure
  • 99.9% availability for mission-critical SaaS platforms

Beyond the technical work, I have experience leading DevOps teams, collaborating with engineering and security teams, and supporting audit and compliance processes in regulated environments.
