Architecting scalable
systems & edge AI.
Hi, I'm Shanmukha. Master's student at Texas A&M University and DevOps & Systems Infrastructure Engineer. I build fault-tolerant distributed platforms, high-throughput CI/CD infrastructure, GPU-optimized inference pipelines, and real-time edge telemetry systems. Open to opportunities nationwide across the US & remote.

Infrastructure & Projects
Deployed Workloads
Scalable LLM Orchestration for Real-Time Inference
- ▶Architected a FastAPI and Redis pipeline to decouple data ingestion from LLMs, solving runtime bottlenecks.
- ▶Minimized local GPU memory footprint for deployments using LoRA and 4-bit quantization.
Centralized Observability Platform
- ▶Built a telemetry system aggregating distributed Linux logs via WebSockets (sub-100ms latency dashboards).
- ▶Configured a Bash agent to stream metrics, deployed on Ubuntu with Nginx and auto-recovering Systemd services.
Developer Experience (DevEx) & Internal Tooling
- ▶Developed an internal desktop tool using PyQt5 and YOLOv8 to automate data extraction workflows.
- ▶Provided custom developer tooling that accelerated AI pipeline execution and data preparation by 60%.
