@abhilashadhavaram
I build reliable, secure CI/CD and release platforms using cloud, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and AI automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've improved build, release, and operational readiness for enterprise platforms at Cisco, Liberty Global, Electronic Arts, and Renault Nissan. My work connects CI/CD, cloud, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and AI automation to measurable delivery and resilience outcomes.
At Cisco, I established controlled CI/CD and release workflows for a CUCM estate spanning 77,000+ files and 193 projects. I also implemented GitHub Copilot CLI-based root cause analysis across four product families and modernized production builds with backward-compatible AlmaLinux containers, passing all 18 production-readiness scenarios.
I've standardized WAF deployments with Kubernetes, Helm, and Istio; automated build and QA workflows with Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and GCP; and strengthened AWS resilience through load balancing, Auto Scaling, CloudFormation, and monitoring.
