Summary
Shan Mahanama is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Singapore with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure and developer tooling. At GovTech he helps design, maintain and onboard product-wide services, working extensively with AWS (EKS, IAM, Route53), Terraform/Flux, Elastic Cloud, Kubernetes, and automation stacks like AWX/Ansible. His background includes deep involvement in the Ballerina language and tooling at WSO2—where he was the top contributor, release manager, and improved CI/CD and build performance—bringing strong language, grammar (ANTLR/BNF/JFlex) and developer-experience expertise to infrastructure projects. He blends software engineering and platform ops fluently, shipping microservices (Express), React apps, databases (Mongo) and bots while automating repeatable workflows. Outside work he builds small software and games for fun, a habit that fuels pragmatic automation and clever tooling choices not always obvious from his platform role.
