About Lohit Ambati

As an Azure Site Reliability Engineer, I specialize in building scalable, secure, and cost-optimized cloud systems. With over 9+ years of hands-on experience, I bring a strong blend of Site Reliability, DevOps, and DevSecOps practices—ensuring systems are performant, secure, and resilient from the ground up. My expertise lies in automating reliability at scale using tools like Terraform, ARM templates, and PowerShell, along with building robust CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps. I focus on embedding security by design, leveraging Azure Key Vault, SonarQube. I’ve led initiatives that reduced infrastructure costs by 30% and optimized VM performance through metrics-based tuning. A standout moment: A client faced persistent deployment failures and security drift. By integrating SonarQube for static code analysis and securely managing secrets with Key Vault, we significantly improved code quality, closed critical vulnerabilities, and cut release delays by 40%. I’m passionate about simplifying complex cloud challenges, driving full-stack observability with tools like Dynatrace, Log Analytics, and SCOM, and enabling teams to move fast—without sacrificing stability or compliance. I’ve also developed in-house PowerShell self-healing scripts that proactively resolved common failures, leading to a measurable reduction in system downtime. I'm open to new opportunities and relocation. Let’s connect if you're looking for someone who builds resilient, efficient, and secure cloud-native systems the right way.
