AJITHKUMAR

Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer. I build and run the systems underneath — Kubernetes, GPU clusters, GitOps and service mesh — and keep them up while everyone else is asleep.

Five years. Azure and AWS. Clusters built from the ground up with Terraform. GPUs sliced for AI teams. Ingress rewritten as a mesh. Five Kubernetes upgrades with zero downtime. The users never noticed. That's the point.

I run the layer nobody sees.

From CI runners to service mesh to H200 GPUs — I own production platforms end to end: build, deliver, observe, and recover.

One GPU.
141 GB of HBM3e.

An NVIDIA H200 NVL is a lot of silicon to hand to a single notebook. Most AI workloads don't need all of it.

Sliced with MIG.

Multi-Instance GPU carves one card into up to seven hardware-isolated instances — dedicated memory, cache and compute per slice.

Training and inference.
Isolated.

Separate training and inference clusters on Kubernetes, with MIG profiles mapped to AI/ML teams so nobody's job starves another's.

Every change is a commit.
Every commit is a rollout.

Production Kubernetes on Azure, built from scratch with Terraform. Cilium overlay networking, ArgoCD + Helm for delivery, and an Istio Ambient mesh on Gateway API in place of NGINX.
