@savarnikagangaraju
DevOps/CloudOps engineer specializing in multi-cloud, DevSecOps, and AI/MLOps for reliable, scalable systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned DevOps and CloudOps engineer with 11+ years delivering secure, high-performance multi-cloud solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in DevSecOps, AI/MLOps, Kubernetes orchestration (EKS, AKS, GKE), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM), CI/CD automation, and observability to improve reliability and accelerate delivery.
My achievements include automating large-scale provisioning and CI/CD (reducing manual efforts by up to 95%), building GPU-enabled ML inference pipelines, embedding security and compliance into pipelines, and improving observability with OpenSearch, Datadog, Prometheus, and Splunk to cut incident resolution and troubleshooting times substantially.
