Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/venkateshnagelli

With over 6 years of experience in DevOps and Cloud Engineering, I have worked extensively across global enterprises and financial institutions, contributing to the design, automation, and management of highly available, scalable, and secure infrastructure. My expertise spans across both AWS and Microsoft Azure platforms, where I’ve implemented and maintained cloud-native solutions involving services like EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, Azure VMs, Azure DevOps, AKS, Azure Blob Storage, and more.

Throughout my career, I’ve built and optimized CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Maven, and Nexus to enable rapid, reliable software delivery. My work has involved the end-to-end automation of application deployments, infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Ansible, and Puppet, and container orchestration through Docker and Kubernetes (both EKS and AKS), ensuring consistency and repeatability across environments.

In my recent roles at companies like HCL Technologies, JP Morgan Chase, EPAM Systems, and LTI Mindtree, I’ve played a pivotal role in modernizing infrastructure, reducing deployment times, and improving system resilience. I’ve successfully led cloud migrations, implemented infrastructure as code practices, embedded security scans and compliance checks into CI/CD workflows, and supported large-scale microservices deployments in production environments.

I’m also proficient in scripting with Bash, Python, PowerShell, and Groovy, and have leveraged monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Splunk, and the ELK stack to proactively detect and resolve performance bottlenecks. My work often involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams including developers, QA, and site reliability engineers to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.
