Hey, I'm Abhishek

Senior DevOps Architect & ML Engineer

I build and scale the backend systems that power modern applications. For the past eight years, I’ve been at AssessPrep, where I’ve helped the company grow by making our tech faster, more reliable, and ready for the future.

I started out in frontend, but I quickly found my passion in the backend, infrastructure, and now, AI. I enjoy the challenge of making complex systems work together seamlessly. I’m the person who gets excited about optimizing a database query, automating a deployment, or fine-tuning a machine learning model to solve a real-world problem.

Here’s what I’ve been up to

Moving from a monolith to microservices: I led the charge to break down our old, monolithic architecture into a more flexible microservices-based system using Kubernetes. This wasn't just a technical exercise—it meant we could ship new features 70% faster and cut our infrastructure costs by 40%.

Bringing AI into the picture: I’ve been working on some cool AI and machine learning projects, like building models that can automatically grade assessments and recommend content. I also helped create an internal support bot using RAG, and I set up the MLOps practices to make sure our models are always improving.

Making sure things don’t break: I helped get our system to 99.9% uptime by setting up better monitoring with tools like Prometheus and Grafana. I also built automated scaling systems that can handle traffic spikes without anyone having to scramble.

My journey so far

Senior DevOps Architect & ML Engineer

AssessPrep • Oct 2021 - Present

I lead our infrastructure and AI efforts. I’ve built our CI/CD pipelines, moved us to microservices, and developed machine learning models that are now a core part of our product.

Senior Software Engineer

AssessPrep • Oct 2019 - Oct 2021

This is where I started to focus on making our systems more robust. I built scalable APIs and started our move to using containers for our services.

Frontend Developer

W3villa Technologies • May 2015 - Sep 2016

I started my career here, building responsive web and mobile apps for clients using AngularJS and Ionic.

I’m always open to talking about interesting problems, especially if you’re trying to scale your systems, implement AI, or just make things work better. If that sounds like you, I’d love to connect.
