ABOUT PHANEENDRA VELLATURI

Cloud Engineering & DevOps (Core Focus) With 5+ years of experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP, I build secure, automated, and cost-optimized architectures. I am deeply experienced in:Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Standardizing deployments using Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates.Modern Workloads: Orchestrating containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE).Advanced Analytics: Designing Big Data pipelines and AI/ML model deployment workflows that turn raw data into predictive insights.CI/CD: Streamlining delivery through Jenkins and Azure DevOps to drive engineering velocity. Data Center Operations & L4 Support My cloud strategies are backed by 3+ years of \"boots-on-the-ground\" experience in mission-critical facilities. I bring a rare hardware-level perspective to cloud stability, including:Operational Rigor: Managing 24/7 production environments with a strict adherence to SOPs, maintenance logs, and audit-ready documentation.Incident Response: Expert-level server break/fix, rack/stack, and infrastructure monitoring to maintain 99.9% uptime and SLA compliance.Hybrid Connectivity: Leading complex migrations that require a deep understanding of power, cooling, and physical networking.The Hybrid Advantage I thrive at the intersection of digital transformation and physical infrastructure. Whether I am implementing a multi-cloud data lake or resolving a critical hardware failure, my goal remains the same: translating complex business requirements into resilient, high-availability solutions.
