Summary
Yashwanth Verupaka is a software engineer with nine years of experience combining cloud-native engineering, SRE practices, and research informatics, currently building software at Microsoft after a hands-on SDE role at Ola Electric. He specializes in orchestrating Kubernetes/EKS clusters, Kafka-driven real-time pipelines, and Infrastructure-as-Code on AWS, and has a track record of improving uptime and operational efficiency through observability and CI/CD automation. His background includes research internships where he applied deep learning and NLP to hybrid text summarization and built a Python/Django blockchain voting prototype, demonstrating a blend of applied research and production engineering. Comfortable across Python, C++, SQL, and full DevOps toolchains, he pairs an academic MS in Computer Science from George Mason with practical production experience and an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification. Notably, he brings a curiosity-driven approach—“thinks broad, finds novel solutions”—that helps bridge novel research ideas into reliable, scalable systems.
