Delhi, India · Available for hire & freelance

Lakshay Walia.I build systems that stay understandable.

Cloud platforms, secure delivery workflows, and applied AI products—designed around evidence, recovery, and the people who operate them.

Open to full-time roles, freelance projects, contract work, and thoughtful collaborations.

A delivery story

From commit to a healthy cloud service.

Scroll through one release path. Every transition leaves evidence, every gate can stop the rollout, and production stays observable.

  1. 01

    Source

    Code is pushed.

    A small, reviewable commit starts the release. The workflow records exactly what changed and who approved it.
  2. 02

    Continuous integration

    The pipeline proves it.

    Tests, dependency scanning, and policy checks run in parallel. A failed gate stops the story here.
  3. 03

    Artifact

    Code becomes an image.

    A versioned OCI image is built once, signed, and identified by digest so every environment receives the same artifact.
  4. 04

    GitOps release

    The cluster reconciles.

    A declarative change reaches Kubernetes. Health checks and rollout rules replace containers without hiding failure.
  5. 05

    Operations

    The cloud service reports back.

    Metrics, logs, and alerts confirm the release is healthy—and create the evidence needed to recover when it is not.

Capabilities

One delivery path, four disciplines.

I work across the layers where infrastructure, software, security, and operations meet.

01

Cloud & infrastructure

AWS foundations, Terraform modules, Linux hardening, networks, storage, and cost-aware architecture.

02

Platform delivery

Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps, CI/CD, release controls, health checks, and operator handover.

03

Security & reliability

Policy gates, supply-chain evidence, observability, recovery plans, runbooks, and failure verification.

04

Applied AI systems

Data pipelines, model evaluation, RAG, provenance, safe automation boundaries, and MLOps workflows.

About

I prefer systems that explain themselves.

I’m a Cloud, DevOps & AI engineer based in Delhi. My work is strongest when a complicated system has to become repeatable, observable, secure, and understandable by the next operator.

The portfolio includes client delivery, verified engineering labs, working prototypes, and research platforms. Each project is labelled by what it actually proves—not by what it might become.

IT Intern · Government IT Division, Delhi

Infrastructure support, systems operations, and technical documentation.

Freelance business software support

Remote troubleshooting, deployment support, and practical handover for small-business systems.

BCA · GGSIPU

Programming, operating systems, networks, databases, and web development. Currently pursuing an MCA at IGNOU.

Writing

Decisions behind the deployment.

Practical notes about trade-offs, failure boundaries, and the work between “it runs” and “someone else can operate it.”

Contact
