About Me
Hello! I'm Rumesh Athukorala, a passionate DevOps and Cloud Engineer with a career spanning over a decade. With expertise in AWS, Azure, and modern DevOps practices, I thrive on designing and implementing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions.
Currently based in Stockholm, Sweden, I work at Data Talks AB, where I specialize in standardizing CI/CD pipelines, optimizing cloud costs, and implementing event-driven architectures on AWS. My journey has taken me through roles at renowned organizations like Pearson, IFS, and the London Stock Exchange Group, where I’ve contributed to large-scale cloud migrations, application containerization, and multi-region application deployments.
I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and a Red Hat Certified Architect, with multiple other certifications including ITIL and Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). My hands-on experience includes building AWS Cloud platforms, automating deployments, and ensuring adherence to the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Notable projects include designing unified infrastructure pipelines and implementing a secure learning platform for millions of students.
Beyond technical expertise, I value mentorship and collaboration. Over the years, I’ve conducted AWS Immersion Days, mentored junior engineers, and championed best practices to elevate team performance and project success. My ability to troubleshoot incidents, meet deadlines, and lead cross-functional teams has been pivotal in my professional growth.
When I'm not immersed in code or cloud architecture, I enjoy exploring the latest in technology trends, sharing knowledge, and solving complex technical challenges. My journey continues to be fueled by a passion for innovation and a drive to create impactful software solutions that make a difference.
