About Ravi Kiran Puli

At Nationwide, I contribute to enhancing cloud infrastructure by developing automated CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins and AWS CodePipeline, significantly improving deployment efficiency. My expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation supports consistent and scalable provisioning across various environments. I also manage AWS resources such as EC2, S3, and RDS to optimize application scalability and performance. With a master\'s degree in computer science from Kennesaw State University and experience as a graduate teaching assistant, I blend technical expertise with a passion for mentorship. I have supported students in Python programming, DevOps, and cloud technologies, creating a collaborative learning environment. My career is driven by a commitment to operational excellence and fostering innovation in cloud engineering.

Experience

1. Aws Devops Engineer

   Nationwide

   Jan 2024 — Present

   As a DevOps and Cloud Engineer at Nationwide, I design and automate scalable infrastructure solutions across AWS to enhance application reliability, performance, and security. I’ve modernized legacy systems by migrating core insurance applications to AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, API Gateway), achieving 99.99% uptime and improving scalability.I automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and Ansible, reducing deployment time by 50% and manual effort by 60%. I implemented ML model deployment workflows using MLflow, Docker, and AWS SageMaker, integrating them with CI/CD pipelines built on Jenkins and GitHub Actions to streamline model training, validation, and production rollout.Working closely with backend engineers, I optimized Spring Boot and Python microservices deployed on Kubernetes (EKS), enabling auto-scaling during peak traffic and improving API latency. I also built and maintained REST and GraphQL APIs, connecting backend microservices with frontend applications to enhance data accessibility and developer productivity.By implementing DevSecOps practices—including IAM-based access controls, SSL/TLS encryption, and automated security checks—I reduced vulnerabilities by 30% and ensured full compliance with organizational standards. I also developed real-time Prometheus and Grafana dashboards for ML model performance and system health, reducing retraining cycles and improving visibility across teams.
