WORK HISTORY
Devops Cloud Engineer @Bank of America
US
Designed, automated, and supported a GCP-primary cloud infrastructure for business-critical financial web applications across Dev, QA, Staging, and Production environments, with AWS exposure for multi-cloud platform support. Built reusable Terraform modules with remote state management to provision and manage GCP services, including Compute Engine, VPC, firewall rules, IAM roles, service accounts, Cloud Storage, load balancers, and Managed Instance Groups in regulated financial environments. Also supported AWS components, such as EC2, VPC, IAM, ALB, Auto Scaling Groups, and ECR. Containerized application services using Docker, optimized Dockerfiles, managed image tagging/versioning, and published images to Google Artifact Registry and AWS ECR for secure and repeatable deployments. Deployed and managed production workloads primarily on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) using deployments, services, namespaces, ConfigMaps, secrets, readiness/liveness probes, resource limits, rolling updates, and HPA autoscaling.

ABOUT SANTHOSH A
Over the past 4+ years, I\'ve worked across some of the most demanding environments in financial services — Bank of America, Caterpillar, and Freddie Mac — where downtime isn\'t just inconvenient, it\'s a regulatory and business risk. That pressure shaped how I think about infrastructure: every decision has to be deliberate, every system has to be observable, and every pipeline has to be repeatable without heroics.I\'ve built production Kubernetes clusters (EKS/GKE) from the ground up, designed Terraform module libraries that cut environment setup time by 75%, and engineered CI/CD pipelines that reduced release cycles by 35% — not by moving fast and breaking things, but by automating the boring parts so the team could focus on what matters. I hold the HashiCorp Terraform Associate certification, and I\'ve operated under PCI-DSS and SOX compliance, which means security-by-default is already baked into how I build.My strongest skill isn\'t any single tool — it\'s being able to walk into a complex, messy environment and bring order to it. Whether that\'s untangling a broken CI/CD pipeline at 2am, rightsizing infrastructure to cut cloud costs by 25%, or rebuilding an observability stack so the team stops finding out about outages from customers — I\'ve done all of it.If I\'m honest about where I\'m still growing: I\'m deepening my Azure expertise (currently foundational), working toward my Google Associate Cloud Engineer and CKA certifications, and learning to lead technical conversations with non-engineering stakeholders more confidently. I\'m better at solving the problem than explaining it to a VP — and I\'m actively working on closing that gap.What I\'m looking for next is an environment where the infrastructure actually matters — where reliability isn\'t an afterthought, where I can own problems end-to-end, and where the team is serious about craft. If that sounds like your team, I\'d like to talk.
