About

Hi there! 👋 I'm Hemanth Narayanaswamy!

I’m a DevOps and Cloud Engineer based in Montreal, with about six years of experience helping teams build, deploy, and operate reliable systems. I turn manual processes into automated infrastructure so teams can ship confidently, scale smoothly, and recover quickly.

My Story

My work brings together platform engineering, site reliability, and automation across Linux-based cloud and on-premises systems. I build on AWS and Google Cloud, using Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD to make infrastructure easier to operate and scale. Python is a core part of my automation toolkit, alongside SQL, and my experience includes building ML training pipelines for production environments.

I enjoy the investigative side of engineering: following logs, connecting metrics, and digging into system behavior until I understand what’s going wrong. From there, I look for ways to automate the fix, reduce downtime, and make the next incident easier to diagnose. I’m always learning and exploring better ways to design and run infrastructure.

Outside of work, I enjoy anime and taking on new cloud and tooling certification challenges.

Fun fact: I type with all 10 fingers.

What I Do

☁️ Cloud Infrastructure & Automation

Build reusable Terraform modules and cloud environments that make growth repeatable. At Promark, this reduced new-customer onboarding from one to two days to a few hours.

⚙️ Kubernetes & ML Platforms

Create infrastructure for model training and deployment. I moved YOLO training from a single on-premises GPU server to a GitOps-managed GKE platform that scales to zero, cutting dataset-to-model time from six hours to two.

🚀 Secure Delivery & Production Reliability

Build CI/CD pipelines with keyless authentication and automated security scanning. My work also includes blue/green releases for 50–70 on-premises inspection stations, bringing repeatable deployments to the factory floor.

🔧 Operations & Business Automation

Automate Linux server provisioning, connect ERP systems, and deliver reporting that finance and operations teams rely on. I look for ways to reduce repetitive work across both engineering and business workflows.

My Approach

  • Automate the Repeatable – replace fragile manual steps with consistent, reusable workflows.
  • Make Systems Observable – give teams the visibility to detect issues early and understand failures.
  • Build Security In – make secure authentication and automated checks part of everyday delivery.
  • Keep Learning – pick up the languages, frameworks, and tools that help solve the next problem.
