Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAmit Rout is a Senior SRE and backend engineer with 15 years of experience building microservices and production-grade platform tooling across Go and Java ecosystems. He blends hands-on backend development with deep DevOps expertise—containerization, Kubernetes/OpenShift, CI/CD (Jenkins, CodeFresh), and monitoring (Prometheus, New Relic)—to reliably ship web and mobile backends on AWS and GCP. His open-source contributions to Red Hat projects like gitops-operator and odo show a focus on improving CI/CD, testing, and developer workflows, and he has strengthened test automation and robustness in legacy projects like minishift. Known for driving continuous improvement and GitOps-aware operations, Amit moves fluidly between coding, automation, and platform ownership to optimize developer velocity and run-time efficiency. Based in Bengaluru, he combines enterprise experience at Red Hat and ANZ with a practical, test-first approach to SRE and platform engineering.
