Profile: https://flows.cv/srinivasarao

Experienced SRE and Cloud Platform Engineer with a proven track record in the SaaS, Healthcare, and Financial services industries. Adept in the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and highly skilled in engineering high-availability systems across Cloud Operations (CloudOps), DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
I specialize in treating infrastructure as software, leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Ansible to build scalable, secure, and self-healing environments. My expertise extends to Data Platform Architecture, where I manage large-scale Big Data ecosystems (Hadoop, Spark) and containerized workloads using Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) and Docker.
I am a strong advocate for FinOps, ensuring that cloud infrastructure is not only performant and reliable but also cost-optimized. Proficient in Python, Java, and Scala, I focus on automating CI/CD pipelines and improving system observability across AWS and GCP to drive operational excellence.
