Summary
Shashank Katlaparthi is a Site Reliability Engineer with eight years of experience designing and operating large-scale CI/CD and cloud production environments for companies like Hudson River Trading, Snap, Apple, and Red Hat. He specializes in infrastructure-as-code, automation, and reliability engineering across public cloud and on-prem stacks, with hands-on expertise from kernel and storage systems (Ceph, Gluster, SAN/NAS) to container orchestration and GitOps. Known as a pragmatic problem solver and "software firefighter," he focuses on making operations boringly reliable by building repeatable tooling in Python, Go, Ansible, Terraform and Jenkins/Kubernetes ecosystems. He has contributed to downstream OpenStack release tooling and maintained open-source projects like infrared, and brings a researcher’s curiosity from academic cloud initiatives to production-grade systems. Outside of work he’s an obsessive learner who tracks running stats and relentlessly seeks the best coffee and sandwiches in New York.
