About Santhosh Reddy

As a Senior DevOps and Cloud Engineer with around 10+ years of experience specializing in cloud infrastructure, automation, and CI/CD pipelines across Azure, AWS, and Kubernetes platforms.Most recently, I led the design and deployment of scalable, event-driven systems using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Terraform, and Azure DevOps — cutting deployment time by 50% and infrastructure costs by 40%. I’ve also played a critical role in cloud migration and modernization efforts, implementing infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, and robust monitoring solutions with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams, acted as a subject matter expert, and continuously driven best practices in infrastructure, security, and DevOps processes. I\'m certified as an Azure Data Engineer Associate and have hands-on experience with a wide range of tools including GitHub Actions, Helm, PowerShell, Python, and more.I’m now looking for a role where I can lead cloud infrastructure initiatives, bring technical depth, and collaborate on building reliable, secure, and scalable cloud-native systems.
