Summary
Deepak Kaul is a seasoned software architect and senior cloud engineer with over two decades of experience designing, building, and operating mission-critical NASA ground and cloud systems. He blends hands-on implementation in languages like Go, C++, Python and Rust with deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD to deliver reliable, low-latency telemetry pipelines and hybrid on-prem/cloud architectures. Deepak has led multi-disciplinary teams through requirements, architecture, deployment and operations for high-stakes environments—from Antarctic relay systems to near-real-time science data gateways—often reducing cost and delivery time through pragmatic automation. He pairs systems-level thinking with operator experience, having performed long-term field support and system administration alongside software leadership. Based in Baltimore, he holds a Master’s in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins and a background in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech, bringing both academic rigor and hands-on engineering. An understated strength is his track record of turning complex aerospace requirements into reusable, production-hardened components that simplify long-term operations.
