Hi, I'm Srinivas Kaja, a seasoned full-stack developer with 13+ years of experience building scalable cloud-native applications and AI-powered systems. I design microservices, deploy to GCP and PCF, and integrate GenAI tools to automate workflows and generate insights. I have led cross-functional teams, built CI/CD pipelines, and delivered enterprise-grade software across FinTech, retail, and Home improvement domains. I also hold Canadian Permanent Residency. I enjoy turning complex requirements into robust architectures, mentoring engineers, and staying at the forefront of AI and cloud technologies. In my free time I work on side projects and contribute to open source, always focused on practical impact, reliability, and user value.
