Roshan Nagekar
Senior DevOps Consultant · DevSecOps Advisor · Remote Trainer
I've spent 15+ years building and operating cloud infrastructure — from bare-metal servers in Mumbai data centres to Kubernetes clusters serving millions of users globally. I've worked across fintech, security, media streaming, and SaaS, and I've led infrastructure teams at Director level.
What I Do
My core work is helping engineering teams ship software faster and more reliably. That means different things for different organisations — for some it's designing a CI/CD pipeline from scratch, for others it's untangling a Kubernetes cluster that's become impossible to operate, and for others it's building the internal practices (on-call, incident response, deployment standards) that let teams scale without burning out.
On the security side, I integrate DevSecOps into the delivery process rather than bolting it on at the end — SAST/DAST in CI pipelines, secrets management with HashiCorp Vault, container image scanning, and compliance programmes (ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS). I led this work at Aigent for enterprise clients across multiple regions.
I also teach. Since 2022 I've been a visiting lecturer at MIT World Peace University and IMCC Pune, covering DevOps Engineering, Cloud Computing, and Server Management. I've mentored 3,000+ students. I run training workshops for engineering teams and have organised DevSecOps Pune, one of the city's active security meetup communities.

Community & Writing
I've organised DevSecOps Pune meetups since 2019, bringing together security and DevOps practitioners for talks on container security, OWASP tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and incident response. The meetups grew from a handful of attendees to consistent 80+ person events.
I write technical posts on DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and security — 64 posts published since 2011, covering everything from Kubernetes and Terraform to MCP server security and AI agent infrastructure. Read the blog →
