About

Hi, my name is Naren Yellavula. I am currently working as a Staff Cloud Security Engineer in San Francisco Bay Area. I have more than a decade of experience in building Cloud Software, Tools, API and Micro-services. I transitioned myself into Cloud DevOps in 2021 to tackle the enterprise-level scaling challenges by using Cloud native Software like Kubernetes and it's ecosystem.

I worked with both startups and enterprises in my career. Outside work, I like to read books, photography with my Olympus Micro four-thirds camera, blog here, and visit local libraries. I majorly use Python & Go for my official & leisure work, and currently exploring Rust & Zig for future use cases.

Few of the notable companies I worked previously:

Transition from App world to Infra🔗

In 2021, I catapulted myself into the exciting world of Cloud-native software & Platform engineering which brought me eventually into Cloud & App Security. Before that, I was programming applications using Python, Django and Go.
