About

🚀 Infrastructure Leader & AI Systems Architect with 11+ years of experience engineering high-availability multi-cloud platforms, zero-trust architectures, and production-scale AI ecosystems. My expertise bridges the gap between raw AI development and secure, enterprise-grade cloud operations. I specialize in combining SRE primitives, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and strict Cloud FinOps frameworks to secure and optimize multi-million-dollar environments. 🌟 KEY HIGHLIGHTS: • Enterprise AI: Engineered secure, high-throughput multi-agent LLM systems on Kubernetes, slashing inference latency by 42% for 5,000+ concurrent users. • Cloud FinOps: Directed multi-cloud resource visibility across AWS & Azure, driving over $150K in annualized savings without sacrificing reliability. • Shift-Left DevSecOps: Reclaimed 250+ hours/day in pipeline efficiency and slashed pre-production vulnerabilities by 80% using OPA/Rego policy-as-code. 🛠️ CORE COMPETENCIES: • Leadership & Architecture: Engineering Management, Cloud Solutions Architecture, Cloud FinOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). • AI Platform Engineering: Large Language Model (LLM) Agents Integration, Secure RAG Pipelines, Vector Database Optimization, Inference Guardrails. • Cloud & Containers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Kubernetes Security (EKS/AKS), Docker, Micro-segmentation. • DevSecOps & SCM: Secure Terraform, ARM Templates, OPA/Rego, SonarQube, SAST/DAST, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Azure DevOps. Open to connecting with fellow technology leaders, AI enthusiasts, and cloud practitioners. 📧 Reach out at: sawanbhat@hotmail.com

Work experience

Associate Software Engineer at Boeing, Jun 2022 - Present · 4 yrs 4 mos, • Enterprise AI Platform Architecture: Engineered a secure, high-throughput multi-agent LLM infrastructure on Kubernetes; optimized vector database access to serve 5,000+ concurrent users while reducing inference latency by 42%. • Cloud FinOps Orchestration: Directed multi-cloud resource visibility and automated workload scaling across AWS and Azure, yielding over $150K in annualized savings without compromising platform performance or reliability. • DevSecOps Platform & SRE Pipelines: Designed an automated, one-touch pipeline enabling single-click deployments; reduced code-to-production release windows by 70% via embedded SAST/DAST scanning, artifact validation, and canary rollbacks. • Zero-Trust Workload Security: Implemented comprehensive Zero-Trust frameworks across enterprise EKS/AKS clusters, leveraging Azure AD conditional access, micro-segmentation, and IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) to completely isolate multi-tenant workloads. • Automation & Configuration Management: Authored complex Python tooling, custom Ansible modules, and declarative infrastructure components to manage continuous deployment environments spanning hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.

Specialist at HCL Technologies, Nov 2017 - May 2022 · 4 yrs 7 mos, • DevSecOps Transformation: Promoted out of Linux Operations to lead the core DevSecOps team, successfully embedding automated compliance and security verification routines straight into daily infrastructure provisioning. • Hardened Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Developed and modularized hardened Terraform and ARM templates internally to automate the safe rollout of hundreds of core Linux environments across on-premises and Azure cloud platforms. • Vulnerability Lifecycles & Remediation: Integrated automated OS patch scheduling with real-time SIEM alerts and Azure Policy definitions, cutting down mean-time-to-remediate (MTTR) critical infrastructure vulnerabilities by 45%. • Secure Cloud Migrations: Led the technical planning and execution of zero-downtime Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) and Virtual-to-Virtual (V2V) migrations, aligning older workload security postures with modern cloud isolation standards.

Senior Associate at Wipro, Jul 2014 - Sep 2016 · 2 yrs 3 mos, • SLA & Infrastructure Maintenance: Managed 24/7 technical support, performance tuning, and preventative systems maintenance for business-critical Linux clusters, sustaining a strict 99.9% uptime SLA. • Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Conducted kernel-level log analysis, infrastructure debugging, and post-incident investigation to discover infrastructure regressions and patch recurring runtime failure points. • Capacity Optimization: Built data monitoring scripts to capture and deliver detailed platform health metrics, allowing architectural teams to intercept memory bottlenecks and configuration drift before user impact.
