Hi, I'm Neelima Bontha, a Cloud/DevOps Engineer with about 8 years of experience. I specialize in AWS, Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and CloudFormation, and CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and AWS Code Pipeline. I have hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS), Docker, automation (Ansible, Python, Bash), and monitoring (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana) to optimize performance and security. I enjoy building scalable, cost-effective, and highly available cloud infrastructures, automating repetitive tasks, and applying DevOps best practices and cloud security to accelerate software delivery. I have worked across AWS and Azure, implementing multi-region architectures, IAM, RDS, and more, and I am passionate about automation and secure, efficient operations.
