Sri Lingala

Senior Platform Engineer | Platform Lead | MLOps Platform

I build the cloud, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, GitOps and observability foundations that engineering teams rely on to ship and run modern workloads. My background sits across platform engineering, DevOps and SRE, with recent work in regulated enterprise environments including Citi and Lloyds Banking Group.

I am strongest where the role needs a hands-on engineer who can also bring lead-level ownership: platform standards, reusable infrastructure patterns, delivery automation, operational guardrails, and platform support for application, data and ML workloads.

What I do

The best fit for my profile is not pure software development and not pure ML research. It is the layer in between: the platform, automation and operational foundations that let application, analytics and ML teams deliver reliably.

Cloud platform enablement

I build shared cloud services, Terraform modules, IAM patterns, networking baselines and deployment standards so teams can consume platforms with less manual setup.

CI/CD and GitOps

I standardise delivery workflows with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Harness, Azure DevOps and Argo CD, reducing drift and giving teams clearer paths from commit to runtime.

Platform for data and ML workloads

I am a strong fit for MLOps platform work when the need is Kubernetes, model-serving foundations, deployment automation, observability and cloud support for AI teams.

Experience snapshot

This is the short version of the CV: The kind of roles I am a strong fit for.

Senior Platform Engineer

Publicis Sapient 2022 – Present • London, UK • Citi and Lloyds Banking Group engagements
  • Supported platform engineering work for cloud-native banking environments across Azure and GCP with strong focus on Kubernetes, deployment automation, shared Terraform patterns and platform operations.
  • Built and maintained reusable Terraform modules and platform patterns for shared services, making environments more consistent and reducing one-off infrastructure setup.
  • Worked with engineering and analytics teams to standardise CI/CD, observability and cloud onboarding for modern workloads including GCP-hosted application and data-oriented services.
  • Improved platform supportability through guardrails around IAM, monitoring, security and deployment workflows, helping teams work with less manual intervention.

DevOps Tech Lead

RealPage, Inc. 2015 – 2022 • Hyderabad, India
  • Grew from DevOps Engineer to Tech Lead over more than six years, taking ownership of CI/CD design, release automation and infrastructure support for SaaS platforms.
  • Led work across Kubernetes, Docker and deployment tooling including Jenkins, TeamCity and Spinnaker to improve delivery speed and platform reliability.
  • Worked closely with engineering teams on build automation, release processes and operational support, giving me a solid base for technical lead roles without over-claiming pure line management.

DevOps Engineer

Smartron 2015 • Hyderabad, India
  • Built Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines for Android and iOS applications and automated repeatable build tasks with shell scripting and Makefiles.
  • This early work gave me a strong foundation in delivery automation, platform support and collaboration with developers on day-to-day release flow.

Writing and signals

I do not publish constantly, but I share enough that recruiters and hiring managers can see how I think about platform work beyond a job-title list.

On Medium

I write occasionally about platform engineering, DevOps shifts, Kubernetes and cloud delivery. It is not high-volume content, but it does reinforce the direction of my profile.
