Ramesh Krishna Mahimalur

I’m Ramesh Mahimalur, a passionate AWS Solutions Architect and DevSecOps Leader with 12+ years of IT experience—over 9 of those years deeply focused on building cloud-native enterprise architecture for mission-critical CMS Medicare and Healthcare systems like Healthcare.gov, QPP, and MEPBS. Cloud transformation is more than just a buzzword for me—it's something I specialize in. I’ve led cloud migrations that cut infrastructure and licensing costs by up to 50%, improved uptime to near 99.99%, and significantly boosted system scalability and performance. My strength lies in combining AWS-native technologies with modern DevSecOps practices to deliver tangible, measurable business value. Currently at Sparksoft Corporation, I architected a major migration from MarkLogic to AWS OpenSearch, Kinesis Firehose, and Amazon S3. By transitioning to serverless and scalable architectures, I was able to reduce costs while driving real-time analytics and indexing with near-zero downtime—something I’m particularly proud of. I also use CloudFormation and other Infrastructure as Code tools to automate deployments, cutting delivery time by over 70%. Before this, I served as a DevSecOps Lead at Nimbus Consulting, where I built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Kubernetes, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions, while integrating security seamlessly with tools like GitHub Advanced Security and SonarQube. I optimized pipelines, reduced deployment and patching times, and implemented proactive observability using AWS CloudWatch and OpenSearch Dashboards. My toolbox includes Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Docker, Kubernetes, Fargate, EC2, and more. I’m also experienced with cost optimization, automated compliance, and hybrid cloud deployments—anything to help the business move faster while staying secure and compliant. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and a Bachelor’s in Electronics and Communications Engineering. I’m also 7x AWS Certified, including Big Data Specialty and DevOps Professional certifications. Beyond the tech, I genuinely enjoy mentoring, training teams, improving documentation, and standardizing onboarding processes. I believe DevOps and cloud are not just technologies—they’re mindsets. I’ve helped teams adopt those mindsets, resulting in faster onboarding, stronger collaboration, and more scalable solutions. I bring both vision and execution to the table. Whether it’s reducing operational overhead, building secure infrastructure, or designing CI/CD automation from the ground up—I thrive in environments where cloud and DevOps can drive meaningful transformation. If you're looking to modernize your infrastructure or scale with confidence, I’d love to connect and share ideas. I am an accomplished Cloud Solutions Architect and DevSecOps Leader with over 12 years of progressive IT experience, including more than 9 years architecting and delivering enterprise-grade solutions for mission-critical systems in the U.S. federal healthcare domain (CMS Medicare). I specialize in cloud-native transformation, infrastructure as code (IaC), and end-to-end DevSecOps pipeline automation using modern technology stacks. My technical and leadership capabilities have consistently driven cost-effective modernization, enhanced system security, and enabled agile product delivery at scale. I have played a key role in implementing AWS Well-Architected Frameworks, zero-trust security models, and GitHub Advanced Security integration across large-scale applications. I am passionate about bridging innovation with real-world impact, mentoring technical teams, and contributing to the broader tech ecosystem through research, peer review, and thought leadership. I hold a Master’s in Computer Engineering, multiple cloud certifications, and serve as a judge and editorial board member for several technology publications and award platforms.
