Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

I design and build scalable cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native technologies. Currently a DevOps Engineer at Youmoni and pursuing my MSc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Outside the job description: A perpetual student of life. I listen to a lot of music and will absolutely start humming if a familiar lyric shows up in conversation. Road trips > sitting still.

In my own words

About

I'm a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer based in Stockholm, Sweden, with over 3 years of experience designing and optimizing large-scale cloud systems.

At Youmoni, I'm leading the migration from Docker Swarm to EKS and implementing GitOps pipelines. Previously at Infinite Computer Solutions, I reduced infrastructure provisioning time by 30% and improved deployment efficiency by 35%.

I'm passionate about cloud-native technologies and actively contribute as a co-organizer of the Cloud Native Stockholm CNCF group, where I host meetups and speak at events across Scandinavia.

Also me

Trying to visit every country in Europe before I turn 28. Curious about philosophy, lately Advaita Vedanta. Carnatic classical music is on repeat; I sing along when nobody's listening (and sometimes when they are). I still nerd out about cloud, computer networking, and Kubernetes after hours, the tooling is just interesting.

Pieces from the road

Snapshots

These are scraps from the road and the in-between days, hikes, cities, wrong turns that turned out fine, and the kind of light you only get when you're somewhere new. Nothing curated; just frames I like revisiting.

Built & studied

Selected projects

Thesis work, KTH labs, and course projects.

ML-Driven Kubernetes NetworkPolicy Generation

Master thesis · eBPF · Cilium · Hubble · Kubernetes

Designed a data-driven system that learns baseline pod-to-pod communication from eBPF flow data (Cilium/Hubble) and automatically synthesizes Kubernetes NetworkPolicy objects to enforce least-privilege segmentation in a single-cluster environment. Implemented and evaluated the approach on real-world microservice benchmarks (Train Ticket, Sock Shop), using a supervised ML classifier over curated “known-good” traffic and avoiding iterative retraining to reduce the risk of adversarial poisoning.

Ankra AB · Master thesis · Jan 2026 – Present

Kubernetes in a Datacenter Network

Configured hybrid edge/cloud setup with two Kubernetes clusters using VXLAN for secure overlay networking. Deployed Llama2 LLM as distributed microservices and implemented RDMA over fabric for ultra-low latency remote storage access.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology • January – March 2025

Network Systems Security Implementation

Built enterprise-grade secure networked system with complete PKI implementation using XCA and OpenSSL. Configured certificate-based authentication, advanced IPTables firewall rules, and hardened NextCloud deployments with SSL/TLS.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology • January – March 2025

Email Security with GPG

Implemented comprehensive email encryption system using GNU Privacy Guard on Linux. Built end-to-end encryption with digital signatures and key management infrastructure for secure communication.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology • November 2024 – January 2025

ISP Implementation

Linux · Quagga · Kathara

Implemented a small-scale software-based Internet Service Provider model on Linux using Kathara, a network emulation platform. Configured an Autonomous System with OSPF for internal routing and BGP for external connectivity between autonomous systems.

Shiv Writes About Stuff

Thoughts on cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, DevOps, and the occasional life update from Stockholm. I write about what I learn, build, and break along the way, including things that aren't strictly technical.
