Mehdeep Gill
I'm a Cloud Architect/Senior Azure Infrastructure Engineer at Compugen specializing in enterprise cloud infrastructure and platform engineering.
With 7+ years of cloud infrastructure experience, I bring deep Azure and Kubernetes expertise (CKA/CKAD/CKS certified) and experience in regulated industries with SOC 2 compliance. I specialize in designing scalable, secure cloud-native solutions that meet enterprise requirements for reliability, security, and performance.
My work spans from hands-on systems administration and infrastructure operations to architecting enterprise-scale cloud platforms. I manage Windows Server and Linux environments, handle patching and security hardening, configure cloud networking, and support 24x7 production systems—while also building CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code solutions.
Here is my writing.
