Top SchoolPathum Fernando is a Cloud Operations Engineer with nine years of SRE and DevOps experience designing and operating resilient, cost-efficient cloud platforms for companies including Theta Lake, Smart Pension, Disney Streaming Services, and Pearson. He combines deep AWS expertise, Kubernetes automation, and scripting in Go and Python to reduce toil—highlighted by innovations like a Go-based SRE CLI and log-indexing techniques that cut observability costs by ~70%.
