Summary
Chetan Yanamandra is an engineering manager with nine years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native, DevOps-driven platforms across SentinelOne, SolarWinds, Deloitte, and Evolent Health. He blends people leadership with deep technical chops in Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, AWS and Azure, having led SRE and DevOps teams that improved reliability, security, and deployment velocity at scale. Notable achievements include automating CI/CD for dozens of microservices, pioneering container and database-as-code practices, and cutting deployment time and infrastructure costs through pragmatic platform engineering. Chetan pairs a technical foundation in biophysics and bioinformatics with product strategy training from Kellogg, giving him a rare ability to translate complex technical tradeoffs into business outcomes. Based in Reston, VA, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams as he is rolling up his sleeves to implement infrastructure as code or build internal tools that eliminate operational toil.
