About

I’m a Senior DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 5+ years operating across pre-seed startups and Fortune 500 enterprises, from 5-person teams to 300,000-employee organizations with $100M to multi-billion annual revenue. At RingCentral, I focus on security operations that scale: • Built proactive threat detection using CrowdStrike and Splunk, tuning alert rules to reduce false positives and speed up incident response • Automated OS hardening and patch management with Ansible to reduce vulnerability windows and maintain benchmark compliance • Integrated security scanning into the release lifecycle and drove remediation with engineering teams At Oracle, I worked on reliability and platform automation: • Orchestrated AWS Kubernetes clusters and managed configuration across 1,000+ VMs using Ansible • Implemented GitOps with ArgoCD and Jenkins, making Git the source of truth for cluster state • Designed Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki observability and reduced MTTR to under 15 minutes • Containerized 40+ customer stack matrices into Docker, saving 300+ engineering hours Core focus: - Kubernetes (CKA) - AWS - Terraform - GitOps (ArgoCD) - CI/CD (Jenkins) - Ansible - Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) - Security monitoring and remediation (CrowdStrike, Splunk) I’m most interested in DevSecOps or SRE roles where security and reliability are built into the delivery pipeline, not handled as an afterthought. I love connecting with new people. You can reach me at prakyathreddyk@gmail.com.
