About Sachin Kumar
I’m a backend and infrastructure engineer focused on production‑grade distributed systems, observability, and cloud‑native platforms. I’m actively looking for remote roles across Backend, DevOps, SRE, and Platform/Infra.I contribute to critical open‑source projects including OpenTelemetry Collector, AWS-CDK and Kubernetes, where I work on scalable architectures, CI/CD optimization, and observability at cloud scale. My work includes merge‑freeze automation, deterministic code generation, and stability‑tiered test coverage for large Go codebases used in real‑world systems.Over the last few years I have- Built backend systems with Go, Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, and Kafka- Automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes- Designed observability setups with Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, and OpenTelemetry- Improved build times, repo hygiene, and release workflows across CNCF repos- Deployed full‑stack, real‑time, and ML‑enabled apps from scratch to production.I enjoy working end‑to‑end: from code to cloud, from local development to production reliability. I’m especially excited about teams building developer tools, observability platforms, or high‑throughput backend systems, and I’m comfortable working in async, distributed, remote‑first environments.
