Summary
Shekar Gadamoni is a lead software engineer with 14+ years building cloud-native, distributed systems and modernizing legacy platforms for large enterprises. Currently driving architecture and delivery for Verizon ThingSpace at EPAM, he eliminated fragile protocol translation layers, containerized services on OpenShift, and enabled Linux-first deployments while cutting infrastructure cost and operational risk. He brings deep .NET expertise, event-driven Kafka architectures, and hands-on experience integrating GenAI—designing RAG pipelines, AI agents with Claude/Llama, and MCP integrations to surface LLM capabilities in production workflows. A repeat technical lead across regulated domains (finance, healthcare, telecom), he combines developer-first DevSecOps practices with strong mentorship of cross-functional teams. Not-obvious strengths: he routinely frames low-risk modernization paths that preserve existing contracts (SOAP/WCF) while unlocking container portability and AI augmentation. Based in San Diego, he balances deep systems thinking with pragmatic delivery across cloud providers.
