Sachinthra N V

Engineering Cloud-Native Solutions at Scale.

I'm Sachinthra — a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building cloud solutions and backend systems at HPE. I specialize in distributed systems, containerized deployments, and enterprise-grade platform engineering. Beyond work, I love bridging software and hardware — from self-hosted infrastructure on Raspberry Pi to IoT automation systems.

About

A Bit More About Me

I'm a software engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, where I work on Disconnected Management Solutions — enabling seamless cloud experiences in environments without internet connectivity. My day-to-day involves system security, Kubernetes cluster management, Helm deployments, and building secure authentication flows. Outside work, robotics and IoT are my playground — I tinker with Raspberry Pi clusters, ESP32 boards, and self-hosted infrastructure.
