Open to senior DevOps and cloud platform roles in the United States

Secure cloud platforms, automated from commit to production.

I am Hari Paruchuri, a Senior DevOps and Cloud Automation Engineer in Houston. I build AWS foundations, Terraform modules, Ansible automation, delivery pipelines, and operating controls for regulated enterprise environments.

Current focus: HIPAA and FedRAMP-aligned AWS platforms, reusable infrastructure-as-code, Ansible Automation Platform, GitLab CI/CD, security automation, and production operations.

Delivery style: platform thinking, practical automation, documentation that teams can follow, and observability that helps operators act quickly.

8+ years across cloud, DevOps, infrastructure, and automation
150+ production services supported with operational automation
60% fewer provisioning errors with reusable IaC patterns
99.9% availability target backed by monitoring and runbooks

Core capabilities

What I build for engineering teams that run production systems.

The work is not just tools. It is a repeatable operating model: reliable infrastructure, clear ownership, guarded pipelines, useful telemetry, and automation that removes fragile manual steps.

01

Cloud Foundations

Multi-account AWS environments with network segmentation, IAM boundaries, encryption defaults, logging baselines, tagging standards, and environment promotion paths.

AWS VPC IAM EKS
02

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform and CloudFormation modules designed around clear inputs, safer defaults, reusable release patterns, drift awareness, and reviewable changes.

Terraform HCL Checkov OPA
03

Automation Platforms

Ansible Automation Platform and AWX configuration-as-code for inventories, credentials, templates, execution environments, and team onboarding.

Ansible AWX AAP Jinja2
04

Operations and Compliance

Monitoring, alerting, patching, certificate management, secrets handling, and audit-friendly delivery controls for healthcare and enterprise environments.

Splunk CloudWatch Vault CyberArk
System design

A platform model built around guardrails, ownership, and repeatable delivery.

A strong DevOps portfolio should show how systems fit together. This model reflects the platform patterns I use across infrastructure modules, policy checks, automation execution, and operational feedback.

Regulated Cloud Delivery Model reference architecture
Source Control GitLab repositories, review rules, versioned modules, branch protections
->
Validation Gates Terraform plan, linting, policy-as-code, vulnerability and secret scans
Secure Runtime Vault and CyberArk secrets, scoped credentials, approval boundaries
->
AWS Platform accounts, VPCs, IAM, EC2, EKS, S3, Lambda, SSM, CloudWatch
Automation Plane Ansible AAP, AWX templates, execution environments, patch workflows
->
Observability Splunk, CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, alerts, runbook signals
Operating feedback loop Incident learnings, compliance findings, drift reports, deployment metrics, and team requests flow back into modules and pipeline standards.

Platform Engineering

Built reusable infrastructure patterns so teams can request secure cloud resources without rediscovering IAM, network, tagging, and logging decisions every time.

Security Shift Left

Embedded policy checks and secrets controls into CI/CD so compliance expectations are visible before infrastructure reaches production.

Operational Reliability

Automated patching, certificate checks, system health reporting, and runbook workflows that support uptime targets across large service portfolios.

150+ services 99.9% uptime runbooks
Experience

Enterprise infrastructure work across healthcare, technology services, and banking.

The through-line is consistent: reduce manual effort, increase delivery confidence, standardize infrastructure, and make production systems easier to operate.

Selected project work

Repository-backed examples of how I turn platform standards into reusable assets.

These projects are framed as products, not code dumps: modules, templates, policies, and execution environments designed for other teams to consume.

Terraform module

tf-aws-ec2-instance

Enterprise EC2 provisioning module with security group, IAM profile, and tagging patterns packaged for repeatable infrastructure delivery.

Terraform AWS EC2 HCL
Automation platform

awx_config_as_code

Version-controlled AWX resource management with reusable role structure for inventories, credentials, projects, templates, and onboarding.

Ansible AWX Docker Config as Code
Team template

awx_team.config_as_code_template

Reusable collection template that helps teams adopt a consistent AWX configuration model without hand-building every platform resource.

Templates Ansible Enterprise
Execution environment

ee-aws-ssm

Custom Ansible execution environment with AWS SSM support, built to run automation securely and consistently across cloud operations workflows.

Docker AWS SSM Ansible EE
Shared pipeline system

platform-pipelines

Centralized CI/CD templates for infrastructure teams, keeping validations, approvals, scans, and release controls consistent across repositories.

GitLab CI Pipelines DevOps
Governance

platform-policies

Open Policy Agent rules that shift infrastructure governance left and help enforce security and compliance standards before deployment.

OPA Policy as Code Compliance
Technical stack

Hands-on tools grouped by the kind of problem they solve.

Recruiters can scan keywords quickly, while engineering leaders can see the operating domains behind them.

Working philosophy

Automation should be boring in production.

Good platform work is measurable, repeatable, documented, reviewable, and easy for teams to consume without hidden tribal knowledge.
