About

Hi 👋🏻, I'm Sanskar

I'm a Site Reliability Engineer focused on platform engineering for infrastructure across on-premises, bare-metal, and multi-cloud environments.

At Obmondo, I maintain KubeAid and LinuxAid, our in-house open-source platforms for managing customer infrastructure across vSphere, AWS, Azure, and Hetzner across day-0, day-1, and day-2 operations.

During my student days, I have been a part of multiple open-source programs including LFX mentorship, Alibaba Summer of Code, Google Summer of Code, etc, and have contributed to multiple open-source projects like KubeDL, pgRouting, and many other Kubernetes-adjacent projects, either voluntarily or through these programs. The links below collect contributions and artifacts from that work.
