Location: Overland Park, Kansas, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/sindhupallapothu

I am a results-driven DevOps & Platform Engineer with 4+ years of experience specializing in the automation of high-velocity cloud ecosystems.    

My focus is on bridging the gap between development and operations through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps methodologies. At McKinsey & Company, I’ve led the modernization of legacy architectures into containerized microservices, reducing manual release effort by 60% and cutting deployment incidents by half.    

I specialize in building "self-healing" systems using Kubernetes and Prometheus/Grafana, ensuring that scalability and observability are baked into the infrastructure from day one.    

What I bring to the table: 
* Efficiency: Transforming bi-weekly releases into daily deployments.
 
* Security: Embedding DevSecOps through automated scanning and secrets management (Vault/KMS). 

* Reliability: Engineering disaster recovery with RTO < 20 minutes. * Cost Logic: Implementing cloud governance that slashes monthly spend by 18% without impacting performance.    

Let’s connect if you’re passionate about cloud-native transformation, SRE, or the future of DevSecOps!
