About

Reliability isn't luck. It's engineered.

I'm Aniket Kshirsagar, a Senior Site Reliability Engineer based in Pune, India, working with organizations across cosmetics, HR-tech, automotive and enterprise software. Over 8+ years I've led SRE and DevOps transformations for teams that can't afford downtime.

My work sits at the intersection of infrastructure and process: designing cloud architecture with Terraform, building CI/CD pipelines that ship safely, wiring up observability so incidents get caught before customers notice, and leading teams through it all.

Alongside full-time work, I take on freelance and consulting engagements, cloud and DevOps builds for startups, and full brand-to-website packages for small businesses.

01

Automate the repeatable

If it's done by hand twice, it becomes a script, a module, or a pipeline step.

02

Design for the incident, not just the demo

Monitoring, alerting and runbooks are part of the build, not an afterthought.

03

Cost is an architecture decision

Right-sizing and redesign, not just cutting is how you sustainably reduce cloud spend.
