Pramod Vishwakarma
Profielschets
I am a platform and cloud infrastructure engineer with fourteen years of experience in enterprise IT, the last several years focused on Azure, Red Hat OpenShift, and infrastructure as code within a regulated banking environment. I keep CI/CD pipelines and production systems stable, auditable, and compliant, and I use AIOps and automation to reduce diagnosis time and manual effort during incidents. I work best in structured, compliance-driven teams, collaborating closely with development and infrastructure colleagues to keep critical banking platforms reliable. I am currently based in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant, fully authorized to work, and I am looking to bring this operational discipline and automation focus to a Dutch banking or financial services team.
