I design & build reliable cloud platforms that don’t wake you up at 3 AM.
I’m Kislaya Srivastava, a freelance Cloud & DevOps consultant helping teams on AWS with Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability and cost-efficient architectures.
Services
I work with startups, product teams and engineering leaders who want to stabilize their platform, reduce manual ops and ship with confidence.
AWS Architecture & Cost Optimization
Review your current AWS setup, tighten security, simplify architecture and cut unnecessary cost — without risky big-bang rewrites.
Kubernetes & Container Platforms
Design or refine Kubernetes clusters (EKS or on cloud), including deployments, ingress, autoscaling and day-2 operations.
Terraform & Infrastructure as Code
Bring your infrastructure under version control with Terraform, reusable modules and sensible environments (dev / staging / prod).
CI/CD & Delivery Pipelines
Set up or improve pipelines so your team can ship frequently with automated testing, quality checks and safe deployments.
Selected Work (Coming Soon)
I’m curating a few anonymized case studies. Until then, here’s the kind of work I typically do. If you’d like to see something specific, feel free to ask on a call.
Scaling a retail platform on AWS & EKS
Helped a retail product move from ad-hoc EC2 instances to an EKS-based setup with Terraform, centralized logging and improved observability.
Stabilizing CI/CD for a growing team
Re-structured pipelines, added quality gates and introduced environment promotion, reducing failed deployments and weekend firefighting.
About
I’ve spent over a decade in software, including architecture roles in large retail environments. I enjoy sitting at the boundary of product, engineering and operations — understanding the real constraints and then designing systems that are robust but still practical to maintain.
My recent work is focused on AWS-based platforms, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code and improving teams’ ability to ship features without fear.
Outside of consulting, I like exploring ways to build leverage with automation, better tooling and clear processes. I’m also interested in long-term wealth building and using tech skills to create more optionality in life.
If you’re looking for someone who can both design the system and get hands-on with the implementation, we’ll likely work well together.

Let’s talk about your platform
Whether you’re firefighting outages, planning a migration, or just want an honest review of your current setup, I’m happy to take a look.
