Misbah Mohammed Kollathodi — Engineering Manager
Crafting secure and scalable cloud solutions isn't just my profession—it's my passion. As a seasoned Senior Engineering Manager/ Cloud Architect with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in driving innovation at the intersection of Cloud Engineering, DevSecOps, Devops SRE and Infrastructure Design. My expertise spans AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, Python, GitOps and MLOps. At Nissan Digital, I spearheaded the migration of car crash test software to AWS, transforming it into a serverless architecture with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Aurora. By refactoring the application into microservices, I significantly enhanced scalability, reduced operational overhead, and received Nissan North America's HIFI Award. Additionally, I implemented MLOps frameworks for sales prediction using AWS SageMaker and Python, enabling efficient machine learning model deployment and data-driven decision-making. During my tenure at Cisco, I focused on enhancing security and optimizing costs. I conducted a PoC for XDR and EDR solutions using CrowdStrike, implemented Kyverno policies to fortify Kubernetes EKS security, and aligned AWS cloud security practices with industry standards. My FinOps contributions included automating the deletion of unused EBS volumes and snapshots via AWS Lambda with Python .These initiatives resulted in significant cost savings and improved operational reliability. Currently at Arcadia.com, I lead SRE and Security teams, optimizing infrastructure and ensuring SOC2 compliance. Beyond technical execution, I pride myself on fostering collaborative, high-performing teams that deliver secure and scalable solutions.
