👋 About the Author

Hi, I’m Rajesh Deshpande — a seasoned DevOps and Platform Engineer with 13+ years of hands-on experience in Kubernetes, Golang, Cloud-Native architecture, and Developer Experience (DevEx).

🎯 What I Do

  • I specialize in building secure, scalable platforms using:
  • 🐳 Kubernetes
  • 🛠️ Golang (Platform tools, Operators, GitOps automation)
  • 🔐 DevSecOps and Zero Trust implementation
  • ⚙️ Platform Engineering for developer productivity
  • Personal Projects:
    • Creator of KubernetesMyths.com — an open knowledge project that debunks Kubernetes myths with real-world experiments and source-code-level analysis.
    • Designed and Developed GoXper - a Golang-based automation tool that scaffolds secure, production-ready microservices with CI/CD, Kubernetes, and SBOM integration — accelerating platform delivery by 10x.

💼 Work Highlights

  • Enabled 10x faster Kubernetes adoption by delivering a scalable, GitOps-driven Orchestrator platform which used to provision 1500+ clusters via self-service and secure automation.
  • Built a self-service Cloud-Native Developer Platform, cutting development time by 80% and infra/tooling costs by 25%.
  • Standardized infra provisioning across the org via a scalable Terraform IaC platform with 100+ reusable modules.
  • Engineered a Jenkins Shared Library framework that powered thousands of pipelines, accelerating deployment velocity and audit compliance
  • Built a secure image lifecycle platform for base images, Jenkins agents, and external artifacts, enabling image signing, vulnerability scanning, and trusted Helm chart acquisition across the organization.
  • Enabled business continuity and operational resilience by helping teams design HA, scalable, cloud-native systems with built-in disaster recovery across clouds.
  • Enabled distributed observability and service mesh integration, improving diagnostics, performance monitoring, and cross-service policy governance
