Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKanishka Nambiar is a Platform & Security Engineer with 8 years of experience building secure, cost-efficient cloud and Kubernetes platforms across government, fintech, and e-commerce domains. He specializes in container and supply-chain security—having shipped zero-CVE distroless images with Wolfi/Melange and apko—and has a proven record of cutting operational costs (up to 50%) through Kubernetes migrations and multi-cloud optimizations. Comfortable from hands-on image production to architecting GitOps-driven DevSecOps pipelines, he integrates SCA/SAST/DAST/IAST and secrets management into CI/CD while improving observability with Jaeger, EFK, and APM. He’s delivered secure hybrid cloud architectures for government healthcare and led platform transformations that accelerated time-to-production and reduced incident surface area. Based in Chennai, Kanishka blends deep open-source tooling experience with pragmatic delivery, and often pairs container hardening with developer productivity improvements that aren’t obvious from a security-only resume.
