Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAshok Raja is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer based in Dubai with 13 years of experience designing and operating large-scale Linux private clouds and hybrid multi-cloud infrastructures. He blends cloud architecture, DevOps and security expertise—building automation, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and capacity-planned systems that run thousands of hosts and VMs. At Emirates and AppDynamics he delivered homegrown automation (Golang/YAML DSL) and unified API layers, and at previous roles built HA telemetry and deployment platforms for large-scale services. Passionate about ethical hacking and system hardening, he pairs practical security controls (iptables, IDS/IPS) with performance tuning and backtracking for complex failures. Ashok is a hands-on polyglot (Go, Python, Bash, PowerShell) who mentors teams, drives DevSecOps adoption, and measures DevOps maturity with frameworks he has developed. He’s equally comfortable architecting infra for data platforms (ADLS, Databricks, Snowflake) as he is building the tooling that makes engineers more productive.
