Background

About Vivek Chandran

With over 19 years of experience in IT infrastructure, I have developed deep expertise across a broad range of technologies, including cloud administration, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices. Currently, as an IT Infrastructure Specialist at Stats NZ, New Zealand's official government statistics agency I focus on leveraging cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure, containerization, and automation tools to drive infrastructure efficiency and resilience. My career journey has been shaped by continuous learning and adapting to the evolving tech landscape. My transition from Orion NZ Ltd to Stats NZ marked a pivotal shift towards cloud-native solutions, where I've played a key role in implementing large-scale transformation projects. These efforts have resulted in the successful deployment of scalable, highly available infrastructure, supporting mission-critical applications and services. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced settings and am passionate about leveraging innovative technologies to solve challenges and deliver continuous improvement. My ongoing focus is on enhancing system efficiency, driving automation, and contributing to the overall digital transformation journey.
