Anish Srinivas — DevOps Engineer

🏃‍♂️ From Dallas lecture halls to Amazon’s Seattle towers and Salesforce’s Bengaluru hub, I’m the engineer who turns legacy servers into calm, self-healing cloud services. I’ve spent 12+ years shaping backend systems at Salesforce and Amazon, moving petabytes of data while keeping customer impact to a whisper. Recent wins: • Guided Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud from on-prem to AWS, cutting stack rollout time by 95% ⏱️ • Re-designed Kafka pipelines that trimmed SQL license costs by half 💰 • Ran stress tests that helped the team sail through peak shopping weeks with zero incidents 🎯 My toolkit: Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, AWS, Kafka, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes—plus a healthy respect for clear tests and clean logs. I care as much about mean-time-to-resolve as I do about mean-time-to-goal ⚽. What keeps me motivated? • Turning complex systems into simple, well-drawn boxes and arrows 📊 • Growing engineers—two of my mentees earned promotions last year 👩‍💻👨‍💻 • Sharing ideas on stage at Toastmasters and in code reviews alike 🎤 Outside work you’ll find me working on my German, growing wealth using Buffett-Munger investing principles, or cheering on Arsenal. 🤝 Let’s connect if you’re building high-traffic SaaS, planning a migration, or just want to discuss the next best investment idea.
