About Uma Mahesh Mallikondla

I’m a Portfolio Manager and Cloud/Platform Engineering leader who helps enterprises modernize mission‑critical estates on Microsoft Azure from strategy and governance through platform build‑out, DevOps enablement, and value realization in production.Over 18 years, I’ve guided cross‑functional teams across energy, financial services, and telecom to ship resilient platforms, streamline CI/CD, strengthen security and compliance, and enable reliable, observable software delivery. I’m hands‑on enough to dive into architecture (AKS, networking, identity, IaC, DevOps) and pragmatic enough to align roadmaps with stakeholder outcomes, budgets, and risk. I’m currently strengthening my craft through a 6‑month AI Engineering Fellowship (Outskill), applying practical AI/ML patterns to cloud platforms and creating a capstone that connects MLOps with real‑world delivery.What I bring:Portfolio leadership across multiple programs and workstreamsPlatform Engineering on Azure (landing zones, AKS, DevOps, observability, security)Operating models: SRE, FinOps, Cloud Governance, Reliability & RiskBusiness alignment: OKRs, value tracking, stakeholder management, change adoptionTeam enablement: coaching, communities of practice, and “you build it, you run it” cultureHow I work:Start with outcomes → design the platform and operating model → prove value quicklyMeasure what matters (reliability, flow, security posture, cost)Build teams that can sustain and scale beyond the initial transformationIf you’re driving cloud transformation, platform evolution, or AI‑readiness—and want a leader who can bridge architecture, operations, and business value, let’s connect.Top 10 Skills:Portfolio ManagementSolution Architecture Platform EngineeringAzure (Microsoft Azure), DevOpsSite Reliability Engineering (SRE)Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep)Cloud Governance & SecurityCI/CD (Azure DevOps | GitHub Actions)Stakeholder ManagementCertifications:Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect (Expert)TOGAF 9 Certified: The Open Group Architecture Framework (Part1 & Part2)Scrum Master Certified: SCRUMStudy (SMC)AWS Technical Professional (Foundation)ITIL V2011 Certified: APMG International (Foundation)Six Sigma Green Belt: iACT Global (CSSGB)Skills & Strengths:Azure DevOps / Azure Implementations / Azure Platform Development (CAF)/ Azure Terraform (IaC)/ Azure Cloud Migrations / Cloud Design & Architect / Business Advisory / Customer Success
