Profile: https://flows.cv/preethibyregowda

With over 8 years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer, I specialize in building reliable, scalable, and high-performance systems. As a platform engineer, I focus on streamlining infrastructure and bridging development with operations to strengthen system resilience and developer productivity.

I’m proficient in Python and Shell scripting, and have built robust monitoring and alerting pipelines using Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog to proactively detect and resolve production issues.

I manage cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure, leveraging Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform to enable scalable deployments and automated provisioning, reducing downtime and operational overhead.

Passionate about SRE and DevOps best practices, I focus on improving reliability, observability, and deployment velocity across teams. I’m also an active contributor to the Infrastructure-as-Code SIG, helping define reusable Terraform standards adopted across engineering organizations.

I’m currently expanding into MLOps, applying my platform engineering expertise to machine learning systems with a focus on automation, reliability, and scalable deployment pipelines.

Beyond hands-on implementation, I enjoy mentoring engineers, defining platform standards, and driving cross-team initiatives that improve developer experience and system reliability.
