DevSecOps Architect at Tech Alchemy & Hashirai · CNCF Kubestronaut · Pune, India
I design secure delivery pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, and cloud infrastructure that help teams ship faster without making production fragile. My day-to-day sits across CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, supply-chain security, and increasingly, AI-assisted engineering workflows. I write about what I build and break at blog.prateekjain.dev.
CNCF Kubestronaut: all five Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, KCSA), plus AWS Certified Developer – Associate.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| homelab | Three-node HA Kubernetes cluster on Talos Linux with Cilium, Gateway API, cert-manager, Cloudflare Tunnel and Tailscale. Companion repo for my homelab blog series. |
| traefik-demo | Traefik as an edge router for multiple frontends and backends, with automatic TLS and Prometheus metrics, all in Docker Compose. |
| docker-shrink | Shrinking a Node.js image step by step, from a naive Dockerfile through Alpine, multi-stage builds and distroless to a static binary. |
| dependency-track-demo | A deliberately vulnerable Express API for demonstrating SBOM generation and supply-chain scanning with OWASP Dependency-Track. |
| omarchy-k8s-desktop-widget | Read-only Kubernetes health dashboard that runs as a desktop widget on Omarchy (Hyprland), covering API latency, node pressure and workload readiness. |
| ecom-log-generator | Lightweight container that emits realistic JSON e-commerce logs for testing log pipelines (CloudWatch, ELK, Loki, Datadog). |
