Krutrim is building its own cloud from the ground up, and I've been part of the engineering team doing that since near the start. Monitoring Built Krutrim's internal observability platform — metrics collection, alerting, and dashboards across the cloud infrastructure. The goal was something like CloudWatch, but built for how we actually operate. It needed to be reliable enough that when something breaks at 2am, this is the thing that tells you, not a customer. Audit Trail Designed and built the audit logging system that tracks API calls and user actions across the platform. Every event, captured and queryable — for compliance, security investigations, and just knowing what happened and when. Similar in purpose to AWS CloudTrail, built entirely in-house. Data Platform Helped build the data platform that internal teams run their workloads on — ingestion, processing, storage, the whole pipeline. The stack runs Kafka for streaming, Spark for processing, Iceberg for table format, Hive Metastore for cataloguing, ClickHouse for analytics, and object storage underneath it all. JupyterHub sits on top for data teams who need an interactive environment. Data Platform as a Service Took the data platform and made it self-serve — so teams don't need to provision or manage infrastructure themselves. Works on both private and public cloud deployments. The goal was to abstract away the complexity without hiding it so much that debugging becomes impossible. Everything runs on Kubernetes. Services are written in Go and Python. MongoDB and Redis handle state where needed. I've also worked across the frontend side in TypeScript when the work called for it. Most of this was designed without a senior engineer in the loop — just the problem, the team, and figuring out the right call.

About

I'm a cloud engineer at Krutrim, where I've spent the last couple of years building platform infrastructure that the rest of the product runs on. The work I'm most proud of — we built Krutrim Monitoring from scratch. Real-time metrics, alerting, dashboards — the kind of thing you'd reach for CloudWatch to do, except this one is ours, runs on our infrastructure, and is tuned for how we operate. Same story with Krutrim Audit Trail — every API call, every user action, logged and queryable. Compliance, security, forensics — it's all there without depending on a third-party service. On the data side, I was part of building Krutrim's Data Platform and then taking it further as a Data Platform as a Service — so teams (and eventually external users) don't have to think about the plumbing. It works on private cloud, it works on public cloud, and it's designed to scale without becoming someone's weekend oncall nightmare. I like working on problems where the decisions you make in week one are still holding up two years later. Infrastructure that's boring in the best way — reliable, observable, and easy to reason about. Always happy to talk cloud architecture, data platforms, or what it's like building proprietary equivalents of AWS services from the ground up.
