Summary
Suryakant Kewat is a senior software architect with over two decades of experience building and operating large-scale build, release and continuous integration systems, most notably for Cisco IOS. He blends deep hands-on expertise in GNU make, Perl, Python and shell with practical SCM knowledge (ClearCase, CVS) to automate complex multi-branch workflows and code merges. At Cisco and Wipro he led teams of engineers, drove productivity gains across large engineering user bases, and authored user guides and best practices to institutionalize tooling. He also brings embedded systems experience and low-level debugging skills from earlier firmware work. Now based in Bengaluru and currently at GE Healthcare, he combines enterprise-grade release engineering with a track record of sustaining mission-critical pipelines. A not-obvious strength: he consistently pairs scripting-driven automation with documentation to ensure tools are both robust and widely adopted.
