Kavin Naik — Cloud & DevOps Engineer

About

Cloud and DevOps, done right

My name is Kavin Naik and I'm a recent CS & Design graduate who enjoys what goes on behind the scenes of modern applications. From provisioning scalable infrastructure on AWS to automating deployments with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD — I like building systems that are reliable, reproducible, and production-ready.

I earned my BE in Computer Science & Design from New Horizon Institute of Technology and Management, Thane (2021–2025, CGPA 6.95), where I led student technical councils and organised workshops for 200+ students.
