Summary
🤩
RockstarSai K is a Staff-level SRE and Security Engineer with 8+ years building cloud-native, secure infrastructure for API platforms and SaaS products. He has led cross-functional cloud and security initiatives at Kong and now drives API management and payments platform reliability at JPMorgan Chase, combining deep hands-on experience with CI/CD, container orchestration, observability, and advanced security engineering. Sai has practical expertise in architecting HA, fault-tolerant services across Kubernetes, AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS), and GKE while helping GRC teams achieve critical compliance. He pairs a data-science grounded MS from UT Dallas with a developer’s mindset—having built production microservices, automated deployments with Jenkins/Spinnaker, and managed infra via Terraform and Ansible. Less obvious: he bridges security and reliability by embedding security frameworks into platform tooling and pipeline automation, making secure API delivery a repeatable, organization-wide capability.
