Summary
Shashi Prakash is a cloud-native infrastructure engineer with 10 years’ experience building and operating managed Kubernetes platforms, currently focused on tier-0 compute infrastructure at Stripe and now at Cerebras Systems. He has led migrations from Rancher to ClusterAPI, implemented auto-heal node workflows with MachineHealthCheck, and authored custom Kubernetes controllers to expose platform services in a cloud-native way. Comfortable across EKS/GKE/AKS and private cloud environments, he pairs deep Kubernetes toolchain knowledge (ArgoCD, Flux, Gatekeeper, Tekton, Cilium/eBPF) with pragmatic platform automation. His background includes applied ML internships and a dual BTech/MTech in CS from IIT Kharagpur, reflecting both systems and ML fluency. Colleagues rely on him for solving subtle production reliability issues and crafting developer-friendly cloud primitives that hide cluster complexity.
