Senior🎓
Top SchoolVaibhav Thakur is a Sr. Staff DevOps and Platform Engineer with 11 years’ experience designing multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms and GitOps operating models across AWS, GCP, and Azure. He builds developer self-service, CI/CD transformations, and policy-driven infrastructure that shrink release timelines from months to hours while improving reliability and security. At Tigera he led platform efforts managing 600+ clusters and delivered $2.1M annual hosting cost savings, and at Writer he redesigned secrets propagation to sub-10-second times for faster, safer operations. His technical focus spans ArgoCD/Flux, Istio, eBPF/Calico networking, observability stacks, Crossplane/Terraform, and policy tools like Kyverno—applied to both production reliability and SOC2-aligned controls. An active open-source maintainer, he publishes a GitOps-based Kubernetes platform foundation on GitHub and explores how platform architecture can accelerate high-velocity AI/ML workloads. Based in Vancouver with an M.S. from USC, he combines hands-on engineering with platform strategy to enable fast, auditable, production-grade delivery.
