Siddhartha Alapati

About

Software/full-stack engineer focused on deploying and integrating microservice applications into production AWS and hybrid cloud/on-prem industrial environments. Demonstrated end-to-end troubleshooting by tracing intermittent user failures to network routing/packet loss caused by load balancer and NIC misconfiguration, then adding monitoring to prevent recurrence. Also delivers customer-specific Python extensions with strong validation, testing, and backward compatibility.

Key Strengths

• Production deployment of microservice applications on AWS with secure service-to-service and external API auth (OAuth2/JWT)
• Standardized, automated configuration across dev/staging/prod to prevent environment drift
• Systematic full-stack troubleshooting (logs + metrics) to isolate infra/network root causes
• Resolved intermittent user-facing failures by tracing packet loss to load balancer and NIC misconfiguration; added monitoring afterward
• Rapid customer-specific Python enhancements with validation, backward compatibility, unit tests, and documentation
• Strong customer/operator collaboration: translating needs into requirements, iterating via rollout feedback, and providing training/docs
• End-to-end ownership of Python/Flask backend services (design through deployment)
• Performance and reliability optimization (query tuning, indexing, caching)
• Cloud-native deployment on Kubernetes (EKS) using Helm
• CI/CD pipeline implementation with Jenkins (build/test/containerize/push)
• GitOps delivery using ArgoCD with PR-based change control and rollback via Git
• Real-time streaming pipeline design and tuning with Kafka (ordering, spikes, retries, lag monitoring)
• Structured, phased cloud-to-on-prem migration planning with parallel runs and early monitoring
