Hi, I'm Akhilesh Mishra
Founder & CTO at Living DevOps. I build real-world cloud infrastructure, teach DevOps through hands-on projects, and help engineers grow in the AI age.
About Me
I'm a DevOps engineer and educator with 14+ years of experience building and running production systems on AWS and GCP. I've worked with teams at IBM, Kyndryl, and KPMG, shipping everything from EKS clusters and Terraform modules to CI/CD pipelines, observability stacks, and DevSecOps workflows.
Today I run Living DevOps — a project-based education platform where engineers learn by doing: real AWS projects, live troubleshooting, incident response, Kubernetes, Terraform, monitoring, and more. I believe DevOps is learned by combining multiple tools together over time, not by mastering one topic in isolation.
When I'm not teaching bootcamps, I'm writing about DevOps in production, mentoring career transitions, and building infrastructure that mirrors what companies actually run.
