About Tarun Kumar Reddy Mulagolla

Senior DevOps Engineer with 6+ years of experience driving CI/CD automation, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native application delivery across Azure, AWS, and GCP environments. I specialize in building scalable DevOps platforms using Kubernetes (AKS/EKS), Terraform, Docker, and containerized workflows to deliver secure, reliable, and high-availability systems.I bring strong expertise in CI/CD automation using Azure DevOps (YAML & Classic), Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and AWS CodePipeline, including enterprise-scale Git migrations and modernization of build, test, and deployment pipelines. My experience includes Infrastructure as Code implementation using Terraform, ARM Templates, and CloudFormation, along with Kubernetes orchestration using Helm and ECS to support resilient microservices architectures.I have hands-on DevSecOps experience, including migrating from Aqua Security to Wiz and integrating SonarQube, Fortify, and WhiteSource for SAST/DAST, container scanning, and secure CI/CD enforcement. I also focus heavily on observability and reliability using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, and X-Ray to support incident response, SLA compliance, and high-availability strategies such as blue-green and canary deployments.Additionally, I’ve worked extensively on database and data platform automation (SQL Server, DACPAC, Azure SQL, RDS, ADF, Databricks), cloud security implementation (Key Vault, IAM, RBAC, NSGs), and mentoring teams to drive operational excellence.I’m passionate about bridging the gap between development and operations, implementing best practices, and enabling digital transformation through automation and cloud-native technologies.
