Ajit Chahal
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
👤
SeniorAjit Chahal is a Development Architect based in Munich with over a decade of experience designing and operating cloud-native, microservices-based systems at scale. He combines deep hands-on skills in DevOps (Helm, Terraform, Concourse, Kubernetes, AWS) with backend engineering in Scala, Java and C#, having led architecture and delivery across multiple SAP teams. Ajit has run complex streaming and analytics stacks in production—Flink, Druid and Kafka—while hardening platforms through Istio, Prometheus/Grafana and threat modeling for AWS/Kubernetes deployments. He’s experienced in running global, cross-functional and offshore teams and handling on-call reliability with VictorOps and Alertmanager. Unusually for an architect, he retains active low-level ops expertise (k8s operators in Go, Terraform for Aurora/Postgres) which lets him both design and implement resilient systems. Fluent in German at C1 and with a background spanning enterprise and consultancy roles, he blends technical depth with strong communication and collaboration skills.
