Sai Hitesh Gorantla —
building reliable backends, quietly
lit by the metrics they emit.

Two years shipping production back-ends — REST/SOAP integrations, CI/CD and observability across Python, Django, Docker and bare-metal Linux. I turn manual workflows into measured ones.

System Engineer 2 @ Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Feb 2024 — Present · Bengaluru live
compute / automation / observability

Owning developer-experience tooling, RPM delivery and observability for HPE compute & networking platforms.

  • Developed a custom Slack ChatOps bot to orchestrate multi-stage Jenkins pipelines and stream real-time alerts, boosting developer efficiency by ~90% by eliminating manual dashboard monitoring.
  • Orchestrated infrastructure bring-up for compute and networking hardware, scripting post-deployment validations to ensure systems met strict baseline standards.
  • Streamlined software delivery with a parameterized RPM packaging framework and build / sign / publish pipeline, cutting onboarding to < 1 day.
  • Deployed comprehensive system observability (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki) alongside automated OS provisioning across RHEL, Rocky and SLES on bare-metal and VMs.
  • Troubleshot & root-caused production issues with log analysis and staging reproduction; folded permanent fixes into the automated validation pipeline.
  • Automated daily Jenkins pipeline failure reporting in Python, generating formatted reports (system name, release version, test failure) with auto-hyperlinked Jira tickets to drastically reduce manual triage time.
  • Spearheaded mentorship for 2nd-year engineering students, guiding them through foundational technical concepts and software engineering career preparation.
