Ramneek Kalra

Cloud Support Engineer, Amazon Web Services

7+ years solving complex technical issues across containerized workloads on EKS, ECS, AWS Batch, and related infrastructure—with a focus on reducing downtime, speeding resolution, and rebuilding customer trust at scale.

Engineering depth, community breadth

I combine hands-on support engineering with a long-running commitment to mentorship, public speaking, and volunteer leadership. That mix shows up in how I approach automation, architecture reviews, and the way I show up for students and practitioners worldwide—whether through AWS programs, IEEE initiatives, or local collaboration.

Based in Sonipat, Haryana, India, I work with global customers daily while staying active in membership development, technical committees, and STEM outreach.
