Topic
End-to-End DevOps and SRE Engineering for Cloud-Native Infrastructure
Abstract
In this presentation, I will walk through my journey and expertise in building modern DevOps and SRE practices, spanning cloud infrastructure design, Kubernetes operations, CI/CD automation, and security integration. I will highlight how I have leveraged AWS, GCP, Azure, Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes to architect resilient systems, automate infrastructure provisioning, integrate DevSecOps workflows, and support production environments with high reliability. This session summarizes practical experience gained from over 16 years of working with large enterprises, delivering scalable, secure, and automated cloud-native platforms.
Who is this presentation for?
This presentation is intended for: • DevOps Engineers • Site Reliability Engineers • Cloud Architects / Cloud Engineers • Platform Engineering Teams • Engineering Managers / Tech Leads • Developers transitioning into DevOps or Cloud roles • Organizations undergoing cloud or DevSecOps modernization
Prerequisite knowledge:
The audience will benefit from having basic understanding of: • Linux systems • Cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) fundamentals • Containers & Docker • CI/CD concepts • Basic networking (VPC, DNS, subnets, load balancers) • Git and version control
What you'll learn?
By the end of this session, you will understand how to design and operate modern cloud-native infrastructure. You’ll learn how to build scalable architectures on AWS, GCP, and Azure, deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters, and develop enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines. You’ll also see how to apply DevSecOps practices, automate infrastructure using IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible, implement observability with tools such as Datadog and Grafana, and improve system reliability through SRE principles. The session wraps with practical lessons learned from supporting 24/7 mission-critical systems.
Profile
I am a seasoned DevOps, Platform, and Site Reliability Engineer with over 16 years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and supporting large-scale infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. My expertise spans DevOps engineering, Linux systems, cloud architecture, Kubernetes orchestration, middleware administration, and CI/CD automation. Throughout my career, I have driven DevSecOps transformation, implemented Infrastructure as Code, built enterprise-grade pipelines, and enabled secure, scalable, highly available systems. I have worked with major organizations—including Fidelity Investments, IBM, MITEL, Deloitte, Verizon, and Sirius XM—where I contributed to cloud modernization, reliability engineering, and mission-critical production support. My background combines strong technical depth, cross-functional collaboration, and 24/7 operational ownership to help engineering teams deliver with speed, security, and reliability.
