Hey there, I’m Varshith. I’m not just an engineer — I’m a builder of resilience, an architect of automation, and a guardian of uptime. With deep experience in Site Reliability Engineering and DevOps, I’ve spent my career making sure systems are stable, secure, and successful, even under pressure.
From leading disaster recovery (DR) implementations in both active-active and active-passive models, to driving the migration of critical applications and infrastructure across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments, I thrive in high-stakes, high-scale environments.
One of my proudest strengths? I love being the go-to person for PoCs — testing new technologies, validating outcomes, and turning “what ifs” into “what works.”
🛠 What Drives Me
I thrive at the intersection of infrastructure and innovation. I believe great platforms empower developers, scale with confidence, and stay invisible when things go right — because I’ve engineered them to.
Whether it’s building custom autoscalers using AWS Karpenter, eliminating alert fatigue to improve on-call experiences, or ensuring end-to-end system stability and security, I’m driven by real impact. I’m a constant learner, always excited to experiment, explore, and implement emerging tools and strategies.
I’ve also had the privilege to lead teams across time zones, handle and lead critical P0/P1 production calls, and guide peers toward faster, smarter resolutions. Leadership for me means showing up, sharing knowledge, and setting the pace.
🚀 Highlights & Wins
🧠 Rearchitected Kubernetes clusters from scratch for high availability across cloud and on-prem
🔁 Led disaster recovery strategies (active-active and active-passive) across production workloads
☁️ Migrated infrastructure and applications across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid setups
🔐 Migrated secrets from Vault to Whisper with automation and zero downtime
📊 Streamlined monitoring and alerting, cutting noise and boosting signal clarity
⚙️ Built internal self-service platforms to automate repetitive tasks (e.g., DB creation, K8s provisioning) with RBAC
💰 Saved cloud costs by fine-tuning EKS autoscaling with corporate discount-aware logic
📞 Led production war rooms, resolved P0/P1 incidents, and supported cross-timezone collaboration
💡 Tech I Love Working With
Cloud: AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS, S3), Hybrid Cloud
Containerization: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm

🎯 Where I’m Headed
I’ve set my sights on becoming a Kubeastronaut — someone who truly masters Kubernetes at scale, in production, across architectures.
Professionally, I’m moving toward becoming a Solutions Architect, where I can design systems, lead teams, and shape infrastructure strategies that scale and last.
