Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPuskar Basu is a software engineer with seven years of experience specializing in back-end, integration, and release engineering for cloud-native and DevOps tooling. At Turbot he led development of Steampipe, Powerpipe, and Flowpipe—open-source projects that enable SQL-driven cloud queries, configuration visualization, and workflow automation—while designing CI/CD pipelines and packaging for repeatable releases. He has a practical blend of infrastructure-as-code, testing, and guardrail automation experience, having built Terraform test environments and GitHub Actions workflows that accelerated releases. His contributions to the popular turbot/steampipe repo include backend fixes, acceptance tests, and resilience improvements such as retry logic for plugin crashes, reflecting attention to reliability and developer experience. Based in Bengaluru and grounded by a B.Tech in Computer Science, he actively engages the open-source community to drive adoption and improve tooling ergonomics. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he pairs product-focused integration work with hands-on release documentation, ensuring new features are both usable and easily distributable.
