Sri Lakshmi

I’m a dedicated, results-driven DevOps professional with 4+ years of hands-on experience optimizing and streamlining IT operations through AWS/Azure cloud and end-to-end DevOps automation. I focus on translating complex requirements into efficient, maintainable solutions while keeping delivery fast and reliable.

I’ve built and improved scalable deployment pipelines across teams, including implementing end-to-end CI/CD to reduce new feature deployment time from 4 hours to 10 mins. I also migrated legacy CI/CD to GitOps workflows with Argo CD and GitLab CI, reducing release errors and improving deployment speed.

My work centers on Infrastructure as Code and container orchestration—Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), including creating Pods, handling pod communication issues, and orchestrating deployments, scaling, and management. I’ve automated infrastructure tasks with Terraform provisioners, built Ansible playbooks for deployments and idempotent changes, and supported secure operations by integrating HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager.

I bring strong observability and operational rigor using CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, and other monitoring tools, improving incident response time by 20% and 35% and enabling zero-downtime practices (rolling updates and health checks). In my roles at LTIMindtree Ltd, Cognizant, and TCS, I’ve also mentored junior engineers, handled P1/P2 incidents, and partnered closely with development and product teams to drive compliance, performance, and dependable releases.
