Dev Rajput — Software Engineer

I build resilient Kubernetes platforms at edge scale. I’m an SDE at Microsoft working on AKS-HCI (Azure Kubernetes Service on Azure Stack HCI), where I ship Golang operators and automation that keep thousands of clusters healthy without drama. I’ve engineered cert-rotation systems, cluster DR with Velero, and day-2 ops that cut support noise and unlock smoother upgrades across fleets. Recent work spans: Operators & Control Planes: AzureEdgeMachine / AzureEdgeCluster, CAPI-operator, KamajiControlPlane; KMS-backed etcd encryption with Azure Key Vault; certificate rotation pipelines end-to-end. Fleet-grade Ops: GitOps with Flux, Helm + Kustomize overlays, Kyverno policies (guardrails, defaults, cleanup), and CI/CD that moves fast without breaking prod. Reliability & Observability: Fluent Bit/Fluentd pipelines (custom Lua + multiline-klog), proactive SLOs, and sensible runbooks for real-world on-call. On the side, I lead AI infra PoCs—standing up training/inference stacks (Axolotl/TRL, LoRA merges, vLLM) and fine-tuning LLMs (Gemma-3, Qwen-3) for SVG generation with constrained decoding and automated evals (CLIP/TIFA). I like turning researchy ideas into working systems.
