Summary
Hritwik Singhal is a Site Reliability Engineer with 9 years of hands-on experience building resilient, scalable production infrastructure and automating operational workflows. He has driven impactful platform work—refactoring monoliths to modular backends, automating cloud VM provisioning with Argo, and scaling Hadoop clusters with Nix and Terraform—consistently cutting deployment times and operational costs. Comfortable across cloud providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, OCI) and on-prem, he combines deep systems tuning (ZFS, JVM GC) with IaC, CI/CD, and robust SRE practices to reduce latencies and improve reliability. A pragmatic automator and avid open-source advocate, he runs an expanding privacy-focused homelab (TerraNixLab) hosting self-hosted alternatives like Nextcloud, Immich, and local LLMs, reflecting his preference for ownership and privacy. Based in Bengaluru, he pairs on-call production experience and RCA rigor with a hacker’s curiosity—forking AOSP, building Raspberry Pi home automations, and continuously learning through solo travel, astronomy, and competitive coding.
