Gartner Expert

Ramana Swaroop

Director Analyst

At Gartner, my work centers on helping clients navigate cloud migration and modern infrastructure platform engineering through actionable insights.

Previous experience

Before joining Gartner, I worked as a senior DevOps and cloud platform consultant at Microsoft, where I partnered with enterprise customers to modernize their technology platforms. My focus was on improving how teams built, deployed, and operated software by introducing practical CI/CD, cloud‑native, and Infrastructure as Code practices that supported scale, reliability, and governance. I emphasized building security, observability, and operational rigor into platforms from the outset through DevSecOps and automated controls. I also served as a trusted advisor to engineering leaders—helping teams navigate architectural trade‑offs, mature their DevOps practices, and resolve high‑impact production issues with minimal disruption to the business.
