Senior🎓
Top SchoolGugatharsan Sivalingam is a Senior DevOps Engineer with eight years of experience designing and operating cloud-native, enterprise-scale infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD pipelines. He has progressed through SRE roles at Pearson—where he led a widely shared dashboard project, handled high-severity incidents, and executed Cassandra-to-Keyspace migrations—to senior cloud positions and his current role at IFS. Comfortable across the full stack from shell scripting and containers to databases like MongoDB/Cassandra/Keyspace, he also focuses on cost optimization, compliance and developer enablement. A BSc in Software Engineering and an MSc in Big Data Analytics underpin his practical curiosity for new technologies, which he channels into tooling and demos that improve team workflows. Notably, he has a track record of owning on-call incidents without escalation and driving migrations and CI/CD modernizations that reduced operational friction.
