Nikhil Sharma — Engineering Manager

I am an engineering leader with a proven track record of driving innovation and operational excellence in large-scale production systems. With nearly 12 years of industry experience, I specialize in solving complex network-related challenges and optimizing system performance. My expertise in Cloud Computing, Docker, Kubernetes, and Service Mesh enables me to lead teams in troubleshooting and resolving intricate issues related to networks, DNS, TLS, and more. I have progressed from hands-on technical roles to leadership positions, where I have built high performing teams that delivered robust, scalable solutions that meet business objectives. In my previous roles, I've spearheaded the development of an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), ORION, which provides seamless integration of services, tools, documentation, and insights in a central platform, and enables developers to launch OLX Autos platform with minimal clicks, thus removing dependency on other teams. The platform has automated the software development process and acted as a catalyst to our development cycle and reduced our TimeToMarket. I am always curious to explore and find solutions to complex problems, and my passion has led me to conduct production RCA's and to evolve and adapt to modern observability tools and techniques. My current focus is on exploring the capabilities of service mesh technology such as Istio. Outside of work, I am a friendly, approachable person who enjoys spending time with colleagues. I am always up for a beer after work and love dancing. I am also a fitness enthusiast and enjoy spicy North Indian cuisine. Inspired by Netflix's Game Changer, I am currently exploring vegan options.
