Backend engineering / DevOps / Open source
Kushan Randika Herath
Backend & DevOps Engineer
I design reliable services and the infrastructure behind them. My work sits at the intersection of Linux, Kubernetes, automation, and practical software delivery.
About Me
I'm a backend-focused Software Engineer specializing in microservices architecture, cloud-native infrastructure, and applied AI. I enjoy building scalable systems, automating deployments, and bridging the gap between software and hardware to solve real-world problems.
- •Designing backend services with microservice architecture
- •Building cloud-native infrastructure with Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform
- •Automating deployments and delivery workflows for reliable releases
- •Applying AI and computer vision to practical software systems
- •Bridging software with hardware through Arduino and systems experimentation
- •Working across Java, Python, Rust, C++, C, Kotlin, JavaScript, Bash, and HCL
My current work spans Linux systems, Kubernetes clusters, containerized services, infrastructure as code, and production-minded observability. I care about systems that are not only scalable, but also understandable and maintainable.
I'm open to collaborations on practical backend, DevOps, AI, and systems projects that turn complex technical ideas into useful products.
