About

I’m Sriram Rangaswamy, a Site Reliability & Cloud Platform Architect with 15+ years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native platforms across Azure and GCP, with deep expertise in Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code. I’ve led end-to-end observability and reliability initiatives—defining SLIs/SLOs, improving alerting quality, and reducing MTTR—so teams can detect issues early and deliver confidently.

I also design secure, scalable delivery pipelines and platform services, including Terraform-based multi-environment infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and GitOps-style deployments. I enjoy enabling developer self-service and embedding DevSecOps (security scanning, policy enforcement, secret and certificate management) while keeping cloud costs optimized through capacity planning, right-sizing, and resilient deployment strategies.
