DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Specialist

Architecting Resilient Cloud Systems & Automated Infrastructure.

Hi, I'm Hiruni Malshika. I build production-grade Kubernetes deployments, Infrastructure as Code, and resilient CI/CD pipelines across AWS and Azure.

With 3+ years of production experience at Rockland Distilleries, I lead infrastructure automation for high-volume platforms (WineWorld AKS and Ting), achieving 99.9% uptime, 60% faster releases, and 40% cost efficiency. I also educate engineers through Hiruni's Cloud Log.

DevOps Engineer & Cloud Infrastructure Specialist

I am a production-tested DevOps Engineer with a proven track record of architecting and operating resilient cloud systems. Currently at Rockland Distilleries, I own the end-to-end cloud release lifecycles for major digital platforms, including WineWorld e-commerce on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and the Ting delivery platform.

My engineering approach centers on repeatability and resilience: writing modular Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), establishing declarative GitOps deployment workflows, and instrumenting deep observability with Prometheus and Grafana. Beyond engineering production workloads, I actively author technical video lessons on YouTube at Hiruni's Cloud Log.
