Site Reliability Engineering
SLOs, error budgets, incident response and blameless postmortems — reliability as an engineering practice, not a hope.

I design, automate and run production infrastructure — Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD and observability. When I'm off-call, I build small mobile apps for fun.

About me
I'm a site reliability engineer who treats production like a product: measured, automated, and boring in the best way. Over the years I've moved workloads to Kubernetes, rebuilt CI/CD pipelines, and put observability in place before incidents demanded it.
Off-call, I ship small mobile apps — partly for fun, partly because building the whole thing keeps my empathy for developers sharp.
// services
What I do
☁
Cloud Architecture
AWS and GCP design, multi-region setups, migrations and cost optimization that pays for itself.
⎈
Kubernetes & Containers
Cluster design, autoscaling, hardening and the boring operational discipline that keeps workloads healthy.
↻
CI/CD & Automation
Pipelines, GitOps and release engineering — from commit to production without human toil.
◉
Observability
Metrics, logs and traces with Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry. See problems before customers do.
</>
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure that is reviewed, versioned and reproducible.
// career
Experience
2026 — Present
Solutions Engineer @ Smartsheet
Bridge engineering and customers for a leading work-management platform — designing technical solutions, building proof-of-concepts, and translating reliability and integration requirements into working implementations. The engineer in the room when the answer has to actually run in production.
2024 — 2026
Associate Consultant (SRE) @ Lingaro
Site reliability for enterprise data pipelines — kept large-scale ETL and analytics workloads healthy for global clients. Built Grafana dashboards and alerting that caught pipeline failures before business reports broke, and automated recurring incident toil across the platforms I supported.
2022 — 2024
Site Reliability Engineer @ Wipro
Ran production Java web applications on Linux — deployments, monitoring, incident response, and root-cause fixes. Automated routine operations with scripting and hardened the environments I supported, keeping the applications I owned stable and boring in the best way.

They must agree or you drop requests on deploys. Wrote a preStop sleep hook into our base chart.
Shipped ShiftBell v1.2
Handoff notifications now respect quiet hours. First feature built entirely from user feedback.

Service Level Mastery: SLAs, SLOs, SLIs, and Error Budgets — A Practical Guide to Defining, Measuring, and Delivering Reliable Services
Self
Your service went down at 2 a.m. Was that acceptable? Nobody knows — because nobody ever defined what "reliable" means.
// cooperation
What teams say
“Devesh rebuilt our deployment pipeline and our on-call stopped being a nightmare within a month. The postmortem culture he introduced outlasted his contract.”
“Rare mix: deep infrastructure knowledge and the patience to teach it. Our cloud bill dropped 40% and the team understood why.”
“Handed him a fragile legacy stack; got back Terraform, runbooks, and a team that ships daily.”

From the blog
#SRE6 minBlameless postmortems that actually change things
Most postmortems produce a document nobody reads. Here is the structure that produces fixes instead.
Set SLOs before you build dashboards
Teams drowning in Grafana panels usually skipped one step: deciding what reliability actually means for their users.
Terraform state: lessons from three disasters
Corrupted state, a deleted workspace, and one very bad force-unlock. What each incident taught me about safe IaC.
// faq
Common questions
What kind of projects do you take on?
Cloud migrations, Kubernetes setups, CI/CD pipelines, observability rollouts and reliability audits. Anything from a one-week infra audit to a multi-month migration.
Do you work remotely?
Yes — I work with teams worldwide, async-first, with overlap hours agreed up front.
What does an engagement look like?
We start with a short call, I scope the work into a fixed plan with milestones, and every project ends with documentation, runbooks and a handover session for your team.
Can you support us after the project?
Yes. The SRE Retainer covers ongoing reliability work, incident support and monthly reviews — or 30 days of support is included with every project.
