Available to hire
Hi, I’m Hani Kancharla. I am a Platform/MLOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience in productionizing AI/ML systems, including 2+ years focused on Generative AI and LLMs. I enjoy building reliable, scalable AI platforms that empower teams to move quickly.
I’ve led the integration and orchestration of LLM inference APIs in production, managed Kubernetes clusters, Helm charts, and ArgoCD pipelines for high availability. I’m proficient in Python and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), and I focus on observability (Prometheus, Grafana) to continuously improve CI/CD and platform operations.
