Distributed systems, AWS, DevOps, observability, and production engineering — 15+ years of keeping high-traffic platforms quiet, predictable, and fast. Currently shipping WebGPU experiences on the side.
I'm Sudeep — a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 15+ years across financial and educational enterprise systems. The work is unglamorous on purpose: SLIs and SLOs, error budgets, blameless postmortems, OpenTelemetry traces, and Splunk pivots that turn a 5am page into a 5-minute root cause.
SRE Leadership
Expert in SRE best practices including SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, incident response, root cause analysis, production hardening, and automation at scale, with strong emphasis on OpenTelemetry-based monitoring, Splunk-driven operational analytics, and AI-augmented engineering workflows.
Impact
Proven record of improving availability by 14%, reducing operational toil through Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and strengthening system resilience using observability-driven engineering and Chaos experimentation.

An open-source credential secrets scanner written in Go. Scans codebases, config files, git history, and live file changes for exposed credentials across 75+ platforms using triple-signal detection.

Triple-signal confidence scoring — regex pattern matching (369 rules across 75+ categories), Shannon entropy analysis, and BPE token efficiency scoring combined into a 0–100% confidence score per finding.
Five-stage zero-trust post-processing pipeline: hash → redact → enrich → fingerprint → sanitize. Raw secrets never written to disk or output.
Modular architecture with five independently tested components: detection engine, secure pipeline, git integration, file system watcher, and internal event bus.
A single-page WebGPU experience: a real-time market wire (news, FX, crypto, M&A) streamed through an audio-reactive cosmic particle field. Simulation runs entirely on the GPU.
The real city, live, with its local time. A full-bleed live street cam paired with an elegant time overlay — real cars, real streets, right now — spanning 34 cities across 21 countries.

I had the pleasure of working with Sudeep in a MVP project as SRE. He is a technically solid engineer with good AWS skills and in other testing tools. He quickly adapts to change. He constantly updates his skillset and looks for opportunity to do things better and in an efficient manner. He is very good at automating things and is really passionate about his work.

Had opportunity to work with Sudeep in Collegeboard. He was a terrific Performance engineer and extremely knowledgeable in his field of experience. Extremely friendly and good in guiding people with his experience.
Bahar Shad
President, CMIT of Alexandria — Cybersecurity + AI + Managed IT · May 2018 — managed Sudeep directly
Sudeep is one of the smartest engineers that I have worked with in my career. He always is willing to take new challenges and calls them "opportunities for learning." Sudeep's high level of work ethics makes him a valuable asset for any employer who would hire him. If I had another chance, I would hire him again!

Distinguished Engineer, Capital One · May 2018 — senior colleague, College Board
Sudeep and I worked on a critical project at CB, mainly IAM move to AWS cloud — supporting 2,000 req/sec on the service side and 300 req/sec for login. He was quick to understand all requirements and helped us find the perfect EC2 configuration with scaling settings. He was new to AWS yet learnt everything in no time. He is very detail-oriented — during Scorematch he completed the most complex data setup in a week that others spent almost a month on. Very smart, and will be missed dearly. It is a loss to CB. Good luck Sudeep!
Don Tidd
Senior Systems Engineer, The College Board · May 2018 — senior colleague
We brought Sudeep to CB for his Performance Tuning expertise. His work within the team has been excellent. Very detail-oriented — he will get to the root cause of any performance issue. He was asked to work on a large portfolio of projects: business services, presentation applications, backend, database, gateways, IAM, AWS — including developing a framework for testing reports. Sudeep will consistently have a good solution. Hard to see him go!

I have had the good fortune to work with Sudeep in the role of Performance Engineer at the College Board. Sudeep has excellent analytical and interpersonal skills. I have experienced his work modeling and preparing test plans, scripting, and reporting on a wide range of critical applications with unique non-functional requirements. These skills and experiences will make Sudeep an excellent fit in any organization attempting to measure and understand the limits of their application and service portfolio.

Owner, Aria Solutions LLC · May 2018 — client at College Board
I worked with Sudeep in regards to performance testing my team's application. He is easy to work with and knew his job well. He had a lot of patience for re-running testing and re-trying things and I appreciated that. He was always thorough at recording performance information that we could review and showed persistence in getting the job done under tight deadlines. Thanks for your efforts, Sudeep!
Jim Zhang
Principal Software Engineer, The College Board · May 2018 — worked on the same project
I worked with Sudeep on several performance test projects. He is very good at writing test scripts, troubleshooting, and publishing test reports. Our team is very happy with his performance.
Marie Godin
Scrum Master, The College Board · May 2018 — senior to Sudeep, same org
Sudeep is an experienced, goal-oriented, and highly motivated engineer. He is flexible when priorities change and drives projects to completion even with the tightest schedule. He works independently as effectively as on a team and willingly assists on important projects even when it's not his direct responsibility. He's both a great engineer and a great team member. Any company should consider themselves fortunate to have Sudeep on their team; we certainly have!
Tom Cerami
Engineering Manager · May 2018 — client at College Board
Sudeep did performance testing for several projects under my portfolio and was a pleasure to partner with. He identified numerous opportunities for improvement as well as uncovering complex issues across multiple teams. His technical presentations were always well received and his ability to answer questions on the fly was greatly appreciated.
Umesh Yadav
Head of IT Strategy, Architecture & Business Delivery, The Nature Conservancy · May 2018 — worked on different teams
Sudeep is very detail-oriented and committed to his deliverables. He is very technical and understands customer expectations around Performance Testing and Business scenario testing. He is a great team player and willing to help anybody. Great to know him.
