# Shashank Shukla on Tal

## Headline

Senior DevOps Engineer @ Nielsen \| Leading Infra & SRE

## About

5\+ years across DevOps, SRE and platform engineering, running production systems at scale in the cloud and on\-prem\. I design and run cloud\-native platforms across AWS/GCP: infrastructure as code, GitOps delivery, observability and AI\-driven operations\. What I work on: • Platform engineering: self\-service platforms that provision complete environments from code • AI infrastructure: hosting open\-weight small language models \(SLMs\) on Kubernetes with custom operators • AIOps: LLM\-powered agents for alert triage and automated incident remediation • Cloud and Kubernetes at scale: multi\-cloud infrastructure, multi\-cluster Kubernetes, autoscaling, zero\-downtime upgrades and releases • Reliability: observability, incident response and disaster recovery • Cloud cost: right\-sizing, ARM\-based compute and infrastructure consolidation Happy to talk platform engineering, SRE or AI infra\.
