I build resilient Kubernetes, GitOps, and low-latency LLM infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
At Nepa Works, I lead DevOps infrastructure for HA Kubernetes and hybrid Azure workloads, migrating Docker Compose services to GitOps-managed microservices with Argo CD and Kustomize. I also optimized an Ollama vision server from 15.88-second to 0.10-second single-request latency while increasing throughput to 1,200+ rows per hour.
I build practical MLOps platforms, observability stacks, CI/CD quality gates, and disaster-recovery workflows. My project work includes an award-winning paddy disease diagnosis platform and a custom RAG backend using FastAPI, Qdrant, Ollama, Redis, and PostgreSQL.
