Anil Raj Rimal - DevOps Engineer
Namaskar, I'm a DevOps Engineer from Nepal. I build cloud infrastructure and automate deployments, keeping systems boring in the best way.
About Me
I build and maintain production infrastructure. My experience comes from working through real problems, one incident and one Terraform module at a time.
I automate what's worth automating, watch what needs watching, and lock down what needs locking down. Terraform, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Docker, and Kubernetes are the tools. The actual job is keeping production reliable, observable, and secure.
I now mentor engineers coming up behind me, the way others mentored me when I started. I work well async and remote, and I'd rather write something down once than explain it five times.
Outside of work, I build CLI tools and GitHub Actions that solve problems I run into, from container monitoring to secret management. I hold a bachelor's degree in CSIT.

My Projects
Tools, GitHub Actions, and infrastructure projects I built to solve real problems.
DockedUp
Real-time interactive CLI dashboard for monitoring Docker containers. Supports compose grouping, health checks, CPU/memory metrics, and hotkeys for logs, restarts, and shell access. Distributed on PyPI and organically adopted by the Docker/DevOps community.
AWS ECS Platform Infra
Production-grade AWS infrastructure for containerised web platforms using ECS Fargate, Aurora Serverless v2, Redis, CloudFront, and ALB. Fully managed with Terraform and Terragrunt.
ECR Docker SSH Deployer
GitHub Action that pulls Docker images from Amazon ECR and deploys them to remote servers over SSH using Docker Compose. Designed for environment-specific CI/CD pipelines.
Phase Secrets Fetch Action
GitHub Action that securely fetches secrets from Phase Console and writes them to a .env file for use in downstream workflow steps. Available on GitHub Marketplace.

My Journey
An overview of the journey that has shaped who I am today.
DevOps Engineer at NAXA
Shantinagar, Kathmandu
Own AWS production infrastructure end to end, improving deployment reliability and hardening security posture. Built Grafana alerting rules and cross-account observability using AWS CloudWatch Observability Access Manager (sink and link setup across multiple AWS accounts). Handle release coordination, incident response, and containerised workloads on Docker.
January 2026 - PresentJr. DevOps Engineer at NAXA
Baluwatar, Kathmandu
Reported to a senior DevOps engineer while owning CI/CD pipeline improvements end-to-end: cut average build-and-deploy time from 20-25 minutes to 5-10 minutes with Docker layer caching, Node.js dependency caching, and multi-stage Dockerfiles, and reduced pipeline failure impact by splitting error-prone stages into separate, manually-triggerable jobs for quick error recovery and restarts. Managed cloud infrastructure on AWS, introduced Prometheus and Grafana-based monitoring, and handled on-call escalations for production incidents.
January 2025 - December 2025DevOps Engineer Trainee at NAXA
Baluwatar, Kathmandu
Worked on optimising CI/CD pipelines and troubleshooting deployment bottlenecks across multiple projects. Gained hands-on experience with Terraform, Docker, and GitHub Actions in real production environments.
July 2024 - December 2024DevOps Engineer Intern at NAXA
Baluwatar, Kathmandu
First exposure to production DevOps workflows, working alongside senior engineers on infrastructure tasks, pipeline scripts, and cloud resource management. Built a strong foundation in Linux, Git, and containerisation.
