Senior🎓
Top SchoolSid Karunaratne is a Senior Cloud Engineer with 14 years of experience designing and operating large-scale AWS environments, from EC2 fleets to serverless and container orchestration. He has led major migrations and IaC efforts—moving legacy ad-hoc infrastructure into Terraform and converting configuration management to Ansible/Chef—while driving cost reduction and compliance initiatives like SOC2 and ISO27001. Comfortable as both an infrastructure and application engineer, he has built Golang microservices and Python/PHP backends (Flask, Django, Symfony, CodeIgniter) and improved developer productivity with CI/CD, one-step deploys, and reusable IaC patterns. At Pix4D he owned multi-region, cross-account architectures and centralized logging that cut costs and improved observability; at Zendesk he ran DR programs restoring service well within strict RTOs. He combines hands-on coding with operational discipline and security stewardship (Vault, incident post-mortems), making him effective at translating complex requirements into auditable, maintainable systems. Based in Alexandria, VA, he is expanding his toolset into Go (Revel) and Node.js, underscoring a continuous-learning mindset.
