Summary
Mohan Balasundaram is a Senior DevOps Consultant and hands-on Cloud Architect with over 13–16 years of experience delivering secure, automated infrastructure and platform solutions for large UK public and financial sector clients. He has led platform builds and migrations—designing multi-AZ, highly available Spinnaker and OpenShift/Kubernetes clusters, and running fast data pipelines on AWS with Terraform, Kafka and Glue. Comfortable across cloud (AWS, Azure), containers, and automation stacks, he pairs deep Linux and networking troubleshooting skills with scripting in Python, Ruby and Go to solve complex operational challenges. Mohan has guided PCI and security-sensitive projects end-to-end, often contributing custom tooling to streamline CI/CD, onboarding and cross-account migrations. He thrives in high-stakes, diverse environments and is open to contract roles, bringing a rare combination of infrastructure-level craftsmanship and platform leadership. Notably, he often builds bespoke automation (dynamic inventories, log parsing and SAML integrations) that reduce manual toil across large programmes.
