Platform leadership · DevSecOps · Multi-tenant systems

Hi, I’m Viswaroop — I design and operate secure, multi-tenant cloud platforms.

I blend Kubernetes, GitOps, and open-source identity (ORY Hydra/Kratos) to ship fast without breaking governance. Principal-track mindset: systems first, teams unblocked, security by design.

🧩Identity Platform — ORY (Hydra/Kratos), OAuth2, multi-tenant auth
☸️Cloud Platforms — AWS EKS, GKE, multi-region footprints
🔐Security by Design — IAM boundaries, secrets, TLS, zero-trust patterns
🚀GitOps at Scale — ArgoCD, Kustomize, Helm standardization
📊Operations — SLOs, incident learning, guardrails over gates

What I build

Secure, multi-tenant cloud platforms
Identity & authentication as shared infrastructure
Kubernetes platforms with GitOps & governance
Observability systems designed for operability and cost

Systems I lead

Identity & tenancy

Replacing AWS Cognito with open-source IAM

ORY Hydra/Kratos/Keto, token flows tuned for tenant isolation, auditable governance, and predictable onboarding for every new app.

  • Auth boundaries that survive org growth and audits
  • Revocation, rotation, and SSO flows modeled up front
  • Cost/lock-in tradeoffs made explicit for stakeholders

Platform engineering

GitOps-first multi-cloud platform

ArgoCD + Kustomize + Helm to normalize app delivery across EKS/GKE, with golden paths for networking, secrets, and observability.

  • Promotion pipelines that align blast radius with risk
  • Tenant-aware namespaces, quotas, and policy as code
  • Operational readiness baked into templates (logging/SLOs)

Reliability & operations

Guardrails that keep teams moving

SLOs, incident learnings, and paved-road patterns so platform changes ship fast without whiplash for security or compliance.

  • Runbooks and dashboards owned with product teams
  • Pre-flight checks for identity, policy, and secrets
  • Cost/reliability tradeoffs documented with decision records

Case studies I’m writing up

Replacing Cognito with ORY

Context, constraints, and why open-source IAM beat managed services for multi-tenant growth.

Highlights: token flows, tenant isolation, migration playbook.

GitOps repo design beyond 5 teams

ArgoCD app-of-apps vs. tenant-per-repo, promotion lanes, and minimizing blast radius.

Highlights: standards, DRY without coupling, audit trails.

EKS/GKE platform hardening

Golden path for networking, secrets, TLS, and SSO across clouds—without slowing delivery.

Highlights: policy-as-code, SLOs, incident learnings.
