About Me
Cloud infrastructure with ownership, clarity and purpose.
I'm Pavan Kumar, a B.Com Computers graduate from Osmania University and a Senior Cloud Engineer with 7+ years of experience. My work spans AWS infrastructure, cloud migrations, security hardening and enterprise-scale governance.
At CDK Global, I focus on a multi-account AWS environment: turning policy into guardrails, resource data into actionable audits, and cloud spending into informed FinOps decisions. My daily toolkit includes AWS Organizations, SCPs, Security Hub, CUDOS, SSM, CloudFormation and Python/Bash automation.
I bring a proactive, collaborative approach to production systems—taking responsibility for reliable operations and finding practical ways to reduce repetitive work. Previously, I supported cloud infrastructure for enterprise clients including Agilent Technologies at Deloitte USI and Google at Gameopedia.
