Dipto Chakrabarty is a Site Reliability and Software Engineer with seven years of experience and nearly three years in production SRE roles, currently pursuing a Master’s in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He has led automation and migration efforts at Cisco for hundreds of MySQL clusters handling terabytes of data with zero downtime, built scalable microservices on AWS to process 10M+ daily events, and improved ETL and observability pipelines using Spark, OpenTelemetry, and Kubernetes. A certified CKA and active open-source contributor to high-profile projects like kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api and the OpenTelemetry Collector, he focuses on reliability, test infrastructure, and robust error handling. He combines hands-on systems programming in Go, Python, and C++ with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) and GitOps practices to reduce manual toil and accelerate safe rollouts. Notably, his contributions to Kubernetes release tooling and cluster-api test upgrades reflect a knack for improving developer and release workflows at scale.
