👋 Hi, I’m Manjunath Shenoy
I break things (intentionally), fix things (reluctantly), and build things (when absolutely necessary).
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve been called many things:
NOC Engineer. SRE. Kubernetes Platform Administrator. Platform Software Engineer.
Let’s be real—titles are mostly random labels assigned by companies
What actually matters? The person behind those titles and the way they approach problems. So here’s a bit about me.
What I Believe
📌 Tools don’t solve problems. People do.
Most tech challenges aren’t about tools at all—they’re about process. Tools only work when the people and workflows behind them do.
📌 I don’t believe in “experts in everything.”
I’ve worked across many domains, but if you expect someone who’s 100% up-to-date on everything—keep looking.
📌 If something is breaking, slow, unreliable, or just making your life miserable—I can help.
I thrive on diagnosing weird, annoying, and hard-to-trace technical problems.
What I Do
- Incident Management & Reliability: SRE, NOC, postmortems that actually lead to change.
- Observability & Debugging: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, tracing, log pipelines.
- Infrastructure & Provisioning: Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, GitOps.
- Cloud & On-Prem: AWS, GCP, bare metal, hybrid setups.
- Configuration Management: Ansible, Puppet, Salt, homegrown chaos.
- Internal Developer Tooling: Built and maintained platform tooling in Go, Python, and Bash to automate infrastructure, improve deployments, and reduce cognitive load—because good tooling should make engineers’ lives easier, not harder.
- Performance & Scale: Load balancing, network optimization, debugging weird CPU/memory behavior.
- Security & Access Control: RBAC, IAM, secrets management, Vault, SSO.
- CI/CD & Automation: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Tekton, pipelines that actually work.
- Networking & DNS: BGP, NAT, “why is this ingress not routing traffic” mysteries.
How I Can Help
💡 Technical Debugging & Consulting – You’ve tried everything, logs are unclear, metrics make no sense. Let’s talk.
🛠️ Infrastructure & Platform Strategy – Kubernetes, Cloud Migrations, Scaling issues? I can help.
🗺️ Advisory & Second Opinions – Need an outside perspective? I’ll be honest with you— even if that means telling you NOT to hire me.
Want to talk? No sales pitch, no fluff—just a technical conversation to see if I can help.
