Keyur Bhatt
Platform & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 8+ years of experience managing and automating Linux-based environments across Azure, GCP, and AWS. I combine core infrastructure expertise (IaC, DevOps) with modern AI assistant productivity to design, automate, and scale reliable systems.
About Me
I build stable, secure and automated cloud platforms — and I've been doing it for over 8 years across the UK and India.
Working with publishing houses, e-commerce businesses and consulting firms, I've designed and maintained production-grade multi-cloud systems that teams rely on every day. My work covers the full infrastructure lifecycle: server provisioning, database clustering, security hardening and automated patch management — the kind of work where getting things right actually matters.
What makes me efficient is how I work. I use tools like ChatGPT, Claude and GitHub Copilot to write scripts faster, generate clean Terraform boilerplate and build Ansible playbooks without starting from scratch every time. It's not about replacing the thinking — it's about removing the friction so I can focus on the complex architectural problems that actually need attention.
Core Skills
Hands-on skills built across real production environments over 8+ years.
Competency Overview
Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure
Designing and operating multi-cloud platforms on Azure, GCP, and AWS. Comfortable with everything from initial landing zone design and network topology to day-to-day cloud operations, cost management, and IAM governance. Experienced in migrating on-premises workloads to cloud-native architectures.
Linux Systems & Networking
Deep Linux expertise across Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and RHEL variants. Managing physical servers, VMs, and cloud instances — covering kernel tuning, storage configuration, service management (systemd), network design, and day-to-day administration. Experienced with VoIP infrastructure, Zimbra mail servers, and enterprise server room operations.
Security & System Hardening
Security is embedded into everything I build. Holding a CompTIA PenTest+ learning path certificate via TryHackMe, I understand both offensive and defensive perspectives. In practice, I apply CIS benchmark hardening, implement automated patch management, configure web application firewalls, and conduct vulnerability scanning and remediation across diverse environments.
Databases & Web Servers
EnterpriseDB-certified PostgreSQL administrator and Odoo ERP specialist with extensive experience deploying, configuring, and automating Python-based ERP frameworks. Skilled in Odoo modular architecture (MVC, ORM), API integrations (REST, XML-RPC), PostgreSQL HA clustering, streaming replication, automated PITR backups, and load balancing via Nginx and HAProxy.
Automation, Scripting & Monitoring
I use Python and Bash to automate repetitive tasks — from system health checks and backup verification to patch management and log reporting. I have set up and maintained enterprise monitoring stacks including Nagios, Check MK, and Grafana with Prometheus, making incidents visible before users are impacted. I also use modern AI coding tools to write scripts and configuration faster.
