About
Most DevOps engineers tend to the safety nets of staging environments.
My “stage” is a live cricket broadcast—the moment the cameras roll, the infrastructure has to stay on‑air. No rollbacks, no maintenance windows, no “we’ll fix it in the next sprint.”
Who I Am
I’m a DevOps Engineer at Quidich Innovation Labs, where I keep the GPU‑compute platform running the real‑time sports‑analytics pipeline for IPL 2025 and the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. When the game is live, the system has to be rock‑solid; a single hiccup means a missed play for millions of viewers.
What I Build
- Bare‑metal Linux + GPUDirect RDMA – Set up Mellanox and NVIDIA Ada 6000/Blackwell stacks, rewrote the kernel path (DMA‑BUF instead of nvidia‑peermem) to sustain 37 GB/s throughput for computer‑vision pipelines.
- Self‑hosted CI/CD – Run Gitea server for on-prem systems using gitea runners(ubuntu-servers) for docker based deployment, cutting deployment errors by 78 %.
- AWS reliability – Automate EC2, Auto‑Scaling Groups, ALB, Aurora, Route 53 with Ansible; keep the cloud side as dependable as the on‑prem racks.
- On‑call ownership – Average MTTR under 15 minutes, maintaining 99.9 %+ availability throughout the tournaments.
Before Quidich
Two years focused on DevSecOps, embedding SAST/DAST into CI/CD pipelines so teams could ship fast without shipping vulnerable code.
What I’m Learning Now
- CKA preparation – deepening my Kubernetes admin skills.
- Homelab experiments – Proxmox + Terraform + k3s + ArgoCD.
- Working – on blogs at sidmulajkar.com.
How I Help
I consult on cloud‑infrastructure design and DevSecOps automation. If you need a resilient pipeline that can survive a live‑broadcast load, or just want to tighten security without slowing delivery, drop me a line at hi@sidmulajkar.com.

There’s still much to learn, more problems to solve, and more to create. For this, I am very grateful.
