Engineering the invisible.

The infrastructure you don’t see. The reliability you feel.

I’m Ruthvik Garlapati, an SRE and AIOps engineer. I build resilient cloud systems and AI-powered automation that keep production moving at any scale.

Selected work

Ideas deployed. Impact delivered.

Two projects built around safety-critical reliability, and two that put AI to work on incident response.

Autonomous vehicles · SRE · NVIDIA NIM

PerceptionSentinel

Fault-tolerant AV perception: YOLOv8n primary with an LLM fallback on NVIDIA NIM, validated by NeMo Guardrails. An SRE watchdog redirects vehicle control on SLO breach.

SLO-driven failover for a safety-critical perception path, with no human driver as fallback.

DevOps AI Playbook

Production microservices on EKS with Terraform, ArgoCD, Prometheus and Grafana, plus an AWS Bedrock and Lambda AIOps assistant for natural-language queries of live metrics.

Ask live production metrics a question in plain English, no dashboard digging.

LLM SRE Runbook Generator

Claude API with RAG over postmortem docs. A Terraform-managed Lambda webhook delivers AI runbooks into ServiceNow incidents when a Prometheus alert fires.

Runbook creation cut from 3 hours to under 10 minutes.
