Hi, I’m Ganesh Koritala, a software engineer focused on building robust backend systems and cloud-based applications. I excel in Python, REST APIs, and microservices, with hands-on experience in AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization. I enjoy collaborating across teams to design reliable, secure, and scalable solutions, and I also contribute on the frontend with React when needed. In my recent roles, I’ve architected server-side services for insurance platforms, built real-time dashboards, and enabled near real-time data flows with Kafka. I’ve deployed containerized workloads on Kubernetes, integrated GenAI and LLM-based knowledge retrieval, and pursued DevOps best practices in Agile/Scrum environments to boost developer productivity and system reliability.
