Hi, I'm Sanjeev
Engineering Leader & Manager|
I build and lead high-performing engineering teams, shape platform strategy, and stay close enough to the work to know when something is about to break - because the best engineering leaders never fully leave the craft.
Have a project? Let’s build something excellent.
From GitOps platforms to n8n automations and AI/ML integrations-ship faster with reliability and compliance.
Cloud & Platform Engineering in Sydney, Australia
Sanjeev Maharjan is an Engineering Leader & Manager based in Sydney, Australia, with over 15 years of hands-on experience designing, building, and leading enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure teams. Specialising in Kubernetes (EKS, ROSA, AKS), GitOps workflows, and multi-tier AWS networking architecture, Sanjeev bridges the gap between strategic leadership and deep technical delivery.
Kubernetes & Container Platform Engineering
From bootstrapping multi-tenant EKS clusters on AWS to delivering OpenShift ROSA environments in regulated banking contexts, the work here reflects deep Kubernetes expertise. Custom resource definitions (CRDs), Kubebuilder-based operators, and the emerging KRO operator framework are core tools used to automate complex cluster lifecycle management. Every platform is built with policy enforcement from day zero - using Kyverno and OPA Gatekeeper to maintain compliance at scale.
GitOps, CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code
Modern platform teams run on GitOps. Argo CD, Flux, and Helm chart management form the backbone of delivery pipelines, with Terraform and Crossplane handling cloud provisioning. Every deployment is declarative, version-controlled, and auditable - critical in regulated environments governed by APRA CPS 230 and ISO 27001 standards.
AI/ML Infrastructure & RAG Systems
Beyond infrastructure, there is deep investment in AI/ML engineering - building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, LLM orchestration layers, and intelligent chat agents that connect enterprise data to foundation models. These systems are designed for accuracy, cost efficiency, and operational observability, sitting on the same Kubernetes foundation as core platform workloads.
Platform Consulting & Engagement
Available for platform engineering consulting, architecture reviews, and hands-on delivery across cloud-native and AI/ML domains. Whether you need a cloud migration strategy, a Kubernetes operator built from scratch, or an AI agent wired into your existing systems, this is the expertise you are looking for.
