I'm seeking a Cloud Solution Architect role focused on high-level design, strategy, and cloud adoption. I aim to contribute through architecture planning, stakeholder collaboration, and governance—without hands-on execution. My goal is to guide scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions aligned with business goals.

@santhoshnagendra
Cloud Solution Architect with 14+ yrs in cloud, DevOps, and infra, focused on scalable architecture.
What I'm looking for
I am a Cloud Solution Architect with over 11 years of experience across DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering. Based in Bangalore, I have led cloud modernization initiatives on Azure and AWS, driving scalable architecture, cost efficiency, and platform reliability for high-impact systems.
My core strengths include designing secure, resilient infrastructure using Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, and CI/CD practices. One of my key achievements was leading the migration of a legacy Solr primary-slave setup to a cloud-native SolrCloud architecture on Azure VMSS—reducing search latency by over 50% and resolving critical booking delays.
I am passionate about aligning cloud strategy with business goals, mentoring engineering teams, and shaping platforms that enable long-term digital transformation. I now look forward to roles where I can focus on architectural leadership, cloud governance, and building enterprise-ready solutions at scale.
