Summary
Pritesh Kalantri is a cloud and DevOps architect with a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling AWS and Kubernetes platforms, now founder of Helyx focused on cutting clients’ cloud spend by at least 15%. He led large global engagements as a Staff DevOps Engineer, architecting multi-region DR, migrating 75+ services to a unified cloud, and consolidating monitoring to save $25k+/month in CloudWatch costs. Skilled in Terraform, GitLab/Harness CI-CD, EKS, and secrets/observability tooling, he has repeatedly turned lengthy provisioning cycles into minutes and delivered measurable uptime and cost improvements. He pairs deep technical delivery—owning CI/CD migrations, Helm chart maintenance, and multi-cluster operations—with people leadership, building hiring pipelines and internal training programs that rapidly scale teams. Notably, he balances entrepreneurial productization with consulting rigor, moving from hands-on implementations to packaged services that help engineering teams operate AWS more efficiently. Based in India, he combines formal CS/CE training from UW–Madison with a practical track record across on‑prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
