About Srinivas Chary

I’m a platform security and DevSecOps engineering leader with 20 years of experience building and scaling cloud, infrastructure, and release platforms across industries including networking, finance, banking, mobile technology, and CRM. My work blends platform engineering, cloud security, and developer experience to deliver secure-by-default systems without slowing engineering velocity.• I specialize in designing and operating in-house security platforms that embed preventive controls directly into IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud runtime, shifting security left while maintaining production-grade reliability at scale. My hands-on expertise spans multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, AliCloud), containers, Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, and secure software supply chains, with a focus on policy-as-code, compliance automation, and misconfiguration prevention.• I led the platforms that strengthens Docker and AMI image security, and enforce CI/CD Guardrails, contributed to open-source tools like Jenkins, and built industry-standard build/release pipelines using Jenkins, CruiseControl, and TeamCity. Across my career, I’ve delivered DevOps, automation, release engineering, and infrastructure management at scale, driving measurable risk reduction and ROI.• Beyond technical execution, I operate with a product and platform mindset, owning roadmaps, driving adoption, mentoring senior engineers, and partnering with architects and product leaders to solve complex security and operational challenges. I thrive on innovation in cloud security while maintaining high standards for production environments, and I’ve led globally distributed engineering teams for over a decade.Specialities:• SCM strategy implementation - Define, implement, and manage the release management policies, procedures, and tools, CI/CD security Guardrails • Experience on various technologies: AWS cloud, Helm/Docker/Terraform, Kubernetes, Chef, Linux/Windows/Mac OS servers.• Breadth of hands-on experience in Go language, Python, Perl and Shell scripting, Maven, Ant, Groovy and build pipelines, XCode build tool, Fortify, SonarQube, Bandit.• Expertise in Mobile Apps CICD process to push the application from dev environment toiTunes/Google Playstore using Fastlane framework and through manual scripts.Personal Interests: Freelance DevOps consultant helping teams design and implement end-to-end DevOps solutions that simplify operations and improve delivery efficiency.
