Top SchoolAbishek Karuppasamy is a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Palo Alto Networks with a decade of experience building and scaling internal platform services that power security products used worldwide. He architects production-grade observability, PKI certificate management, just-in-time access controls, and Kubernetes-native auto-remediation pipelines—often delivering reliability improvements that users never notice. Comfortable across infrastructure provisioning, SRE practices, CI/CD, and multi-cloud (AWS/GCP), he combines hands-on Go and Python coding with automation via Terraform, Argo, and Vault. His work emphasizes enabling developer velocity, visibility, and security across large engineering organizations, with measurable reductions in MTTR and improved access governance. A former research and graduate assistant with internships at VMware and early SRE experience at BookMyShow, he blends academic rigor with production pragmatism. He’s driven by “infra done right” and a stated goal of fixing the purpose of coding, bringing both curiosity and discipline to platform engineering challenges.
