Shruthi MURTHY
@shruthimurthy
I lead cloud, platform, and infrastructure engineering programs that improve reliability, compliance, and cost efficiency.
What I'm looking for
At Mizuho Securities, I lead cloud, platform, and infrastructure delivery across Azure Red Hat OpenShift, corporate networks, and bare-metal environments supporting 3,000+ servers and 50+ microservices.
I've delivered more than $12M in infrastructure savings by replacing manual provisioning with an API-driven self-service platform using ServiceNow, Ansible, infrastructure-as-code, and GitOps. I also delivered Disaster-Recovery-as-Code for 30+ regulated workloads, reducing recovery time from more than two days to under four hours.
I lead distributed platform engineering and SRE teams building reliable Kubernetes/OpenShift services for FINRA/SEC-regulated financial workloads. My work spans multi-cluster governance, Kafka on OpenShift, network architecture, observability, and secure automation across cloud and datacenter environments.
