Manoj Kumar Donkada — SRE (Site Reliability Engineer)
I’ve spent the last 18 years building, scaling, and securing systems that power some of the world’s most demanding applications. My journey started as a young engineer fascinated by how systems talk to each other, and over time, it grew into a career in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Cloud Infrastructure, and DevOps transformation. Today, I serve as a Principal Site Reliability Engineer at Oracle, where I help design and operate large-scale, resilient, and high-performing cloud systems. Before this, I honed my expertise at organizations like CME Group, TCS, Thomson Reuters, and iGATE, where I was trusted to lead initiatives ranging from cloud migrations and automation to disaster recovery strategies and observability frameworks. What excites me most is solving complex reliability challenges: • Moving critical workloads to the cloud without downtime • Building automation pipelines that free teams from repetitive tasks • Creating observability solutions that give businesses real insight into system health • Designing disaster recovery strategies that make resilience a competitive advantage Along the way, I’ve seen the impact of a strong DevOps culture — teams that innovate faster, recover quicker, and build with reliability in mind. Mentoring teams and enabling that culture has become one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work. My toolkit includes AWS, Oracle Cloud (OCI), Terraform, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Prometheus, Grafana, and Ansible, but more importantly, I bring a mindset of continuous improvement and problem-solving at scale. Backed by an MBA in Finance from BITS Pilani and multiple cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, OCI Infrastructure, Data & AI Foundations), I bridge technical expertise with business outcomes. At heart, I’m passionate about building systems that just work — quietly, reliably, and at scale — so businesses can focus on what they do best.
