@balasuprajachilakala
AWS Cloud Engineer specializing in serverless, event-driven architectures and CI/CD automation on AWS.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AWS Cloud Engineer with 4 years of experience designing and operating AWS cloud-native and serverless platforms, with strong depth in Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK and CloudFormation. I build event-driven systems and distributed architectures, then back them with automation to improve reliability and operational consistency across environments.
In recent work, I designed an event-driven certificate generation pipeline with AWS Step Functions, Lambdas, SNS, SQS, and GraphQL, reducing manual processing overhead by 80%. I’ve also modernized legacy systems by migrating a third-party rule engine to an AWS-embedded Java solution, eliminating external licensing dependencies and reducing infrastructure and cloud licensing costs by 30%—and I’ve maintained 99.9% system uptime through production-critical bug resolution and hotfixes in the core payments domain.
