About Naveen Pulikonda

Accredited as an accomplished technocrat, I bring over 12 years of experience, with skills in architecting scalable, resilient infrastructure, driving reliability through Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, and implementing comprehensive observability solutions. I am seeking a leadership role to leverage expertise in Cloud infrastructure management, with automation to enhance system availability, scalability, and operational efficiency. Over the years, I have gained proficiency in the implementation of SRE principles to augment system reliability, performance, and fault tolerance, with a focus on reducing operational overhead through automation, leveraging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack to gain actionable insights into system health. I hold extensive knowledge in supporting and automating critical deployments over big infrastructure, architecting/automating and optimizing mission-critical deployments in Cloud/AWS, while leveraging Linux (Red Hat) Administration, with configuration management and implementation of DevOps processes. Moreover, I am capable of working on version controller tools like GitHub (Git), Subversion (SVN), and Application Monitoring tools like Grafana Dashboards and Kibana, along with infrastructure management tools such as Terraform. I hold a track record of extensively working on CI/CD pipelines for code deployment by engaging different tools (Git, Jenkins, and Code Pipeline) in the process right from Developer Code Check-In to Production Deployment. I am also adept in designing, configuring, and managing public/private Cloud infrastructures using Amazon Web Services (AWS). I am skilled in configuration management tools like Ansible for consistency and standardization across infrastructure resources, writing Shell Scripts/Python Scripts, manipulating Scheduled Batch Jobs, performing Log Analysis, and maintaining Documents of Production Servers. Key Expertise: Cloud Platforms: AWS Automation & IaC: Terraform, Ansible CI/CD: Jenkin, Argo CD Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes Monitoring & Logging: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch Version Control & SCM: Git, GIT HUB Scripting & Automation: Shell Scripting, Python For more queries, please mail me at n••••••••@gmail.com.
