Sai Hitesh Gorantla
Software Engineer building developer platforms,
backend systems & the automation that ships them.

I design developer platforms, CI/CD, and observability that make engineering teams faster — from FastAPI services and GitHub-driven workflows to RPM delivery and monitoring across 100+ Linux servers. 3+ years across HPE and a high-scale travel platform.

Software Engineer @ Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Feb 2024 — Present · Bengaluru live
developer platforms / automation / observability

Building developer-experience tooling, release automation and observability for HPE compute & networking platforms.

  • Designed and developed an internal developer platform integrating Slack, GitHub, and Jenkins to automate build scheduling, system reservation, and CI/CD workflows across internal test systems, improving developer productivity by 90% across five global teams.
  • Built a FastAPI engineering dashboard integrated with GitHub webhooks for centralized visibility into pull requests across release branches, accelerating production issue investigation and root-cause analysis.
  • Designed Jenkins pipelines to automate RPM building, signing, and artifact publishing, improving release reliability and standardizing software delivery across multiple repositories.
  • Implemented a centralized observability platform using Grafana, Loki, Zabbix, and SQLite across 100+ servers, unifying system health, user sessions, and audit activity for faster incident diagnosis.
  • Automated Fabric Manager provisioning, system hardening, and compute-node driver installation to accelerate HPC test-system bring-up, reducing new-system provisioning time by ~one week.

Associate Software Engineer @ ITILITE Technologies

Sept 2022 — Feb 2024 · Bengaluru
backend / integrations / payments

Built and operated the API surface that connected ITILITE’s travel platform to GDS and partner vendors.

  • Implemented a PCI-compliant payment workflow using Django and SOAP APIs to process customer card details in GDS Smartpoint, eliminating an estimated ₹50L+ in annual payment-gateway costs.
  • Enhanced the cab-booking workflow with a Python-based SOAP integration to a GDS travel aggregator, enabling commission-based bookings and increasing revenue by 2.5%.
  • Developed a data-normalization layer in Python and Django to standardize hotel refund-policy responses from multiple travel vendors, ensuring consistent, accurate policy information across the platform.
  • Designed and built custom REST-based enterprise integrations in Python and Django to onboard enterprise customers, enabling billable integrations that expanded product revenue.
