About Naga Manideep Sankabathula

Hello! I\'m Naga Manideep Sankabathula, a DevOps Engineer and Software Engineer passionate about building secure, scalable, and automated cloud solutions. At Community Dreams Foundation, I work as a Software Engineer, where I design and optimize CI/CD pipelines, deploy applications with Docker and Kubernetes, and automate infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible, and AWS services. My contributions have improved release velocity, enhanced observability with Prometheus/Grafana, and reduced cloud infrastructure costs through optimization strategies.I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Northern Illinois University and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from SRM University, Chennai. During my Master’s, I served as a Graduate Assistant, mentoring over 100 students and introducing DevOps tools like Git/GitHub and Jupyter Notebooks into coursework to improve student success.Previously, I worked as a DevOps Engineer at Innoart Technologies (Qualcomm client), where I delivered cloud-native solutions that ensured 99.9% uptime, accelerated release cycles by 40%, and supported production ML model deployments.With a career spanning software engineering, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure, I thrive at the intersection of development and operations. I’m driven to create impactful, automated systems that empower teams to deliver reliable software at scale.

   As a Software Engineer at Community Dreams Foundation, I drive end-to-end DevOps initiatives that accelerate software delivery and improve system reliability. I design and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD), enabling a 45% faster release cycle and zero-downtime deployments. I containerize applications with Docker and orchestrate them on Kubernetes, standardizing environments and reducing onboarding time by 60%. Using Terraform and Ansible, I automate cloud infrastructure provisioning across AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, VPC), cutting setup time from days to hours. To strengthen observability, I implemented Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack, which reduced mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 30%. I also partner with teams to integrate DevSecOps practices, ensuring secure, compliant, and cost-efficient operations.
