Kousik Varma Gattupalli — Cloud Engineer

About

Cloud Engineer specializing in AWS infrastructure and automation.

I'm a final-year Computer Science Engineering (AI & ML) student who specializes in Cloud Engineering. I design and deploy AWS infrastructure — provisioning EC2 and VPC environments, configuring monitoring with CloudWatch, and automating incident response with Systems Manager and SNS.

Across four self-driven projects, I've worked with 15+ AWS services, built a fault-tolerant auto-healing system, and deployed a secure, low-latency static site using S3, CloudFront, and Route 53.

My AI/ML foundation extends into applied GenAI, including a RAG-based knowledge assistant built with FAISS and Sentence Transformers. I'm currently preparing for the AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate exam, and looking for entry-level Cloud Engineer, CloudOps, or DevOps roles where I can bring that same infrastructure discipline to production systems.

AUG — SEP 2026

AWS Infrastructure Monitoring & Auto-Healing System

A fault-tolerant AWS setup that detects failures and triggers recovery without manual intervention.

Designed the infrastructure with EC2, Application Load Balancer, Auto Scaling, IAM, and VPC.
Configured CloudWatch monitoring, logs, and alarms for CPU, instance-health, and application failures.
Automated incident notification and remediation using SNS and Systems Manager.

AWS Static Portfolio Deployment

A responsive site delivered securely with low latency through S3 and CloudFront.

Hosted on Amazon S3 and distributed through CloudFront.
Configured Route 53, HTTPS, and S3 versioning; all domain tests passed.
Tested 10+ availability and content-update scenarios.

Student Performance Prediction

An end-to-end ML web app that predicts a student's final grade and pass/fail status from study time, travel time, health, and absences.

Built regression (final grade) and classification (pass/fail) models; compared Linear Regression, Logistic Regression and Random Forest using R², accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score.
Handled class imbalance with class weighting and removed demographic features (e.g., parental education) to reduce bias.
Deployed with Flask using Joblib-saved models, input validation, a confidence bar and a dark/light theme.
