Summary
Aaron Shah is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer based in London with over a decade of experience designing and operating highly available, scalable cloud-native platforms. He led a major migration from a monolith to Helm-based Kubernetes microservices and built container orchestration and CI/CD solutions that measurably reduced operational overhead and MTTR. A pragmatic automation-first engineer, he has driven cost savings (32% cloud expense reduction), automated disaster recovery, and owned DR/BC programs to ensure resilience under rapid user growth. He coaches and grows SRE teams, shifting reliability left by embedding config, security, and observability into delivery pipelines. Comfortable across Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, Jenkins/GitHub Actions and multiple clouds, he blends hands-on coding with systems design to close the gap between dev and ops. Outside core SRE work he combines networking roots (CCNA) and product-focused delivery experience from startups to healthcare, enabling practical, user-impacting infrastructure decisions.
