Hey, I'm Sid!
🎓 I'm a Graduate student pursuing my Masters in Information Systems at the College of Engineering in Northeastern University, Boston.
🧐 I am interested in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps and Fullstack Engineering! I just finished my Spring '23 Co-op as a Software Engineer at @Boehringer-Ingelheim USA, developing GPT powered chatbots for medical websites using Azure OpenAI & Power Virtual Agents, using Kubernetes and Helm Charts to deploy a highly available cluster for the chatbots. As an open-source enthusiast, I believe in the power of collaboration and constantly seek ways to improve my skills by contributing to the community.
Getting to know me
🏢 Prior to my Master's degree at Northeastern, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Manipal University, India , and worked as a Senior Software Engineer in the PaaS team for Ericsson, Hungary at Wipro Technologies.
🧑💻 Currently, I am working on a project where I work with a Highly Available Kubernetes cluster which hosts a Dockerized REST API and other microservices that are deployed on a regional, multi-nodal private GKE cluster using Helm Charts. I'm using Prometheus and Grafana for logging and monitoring of metrics on the cluster. A custom health check on this REST API is done by a Highly Available Kafka cluster (deployed using the Bitnami Kafka Helm Chart as a dependency) on the same GKE cluster using the traditional producer-consumer model. The health check runs as a CronJob using a custom Kubernetes operator written in Go and built using Kubebuilder.
