Cloud Architecture.
AI Engineering.
DevOps Automation.
I architect self-healing Kubernetes clusters, build custom AI models, and transform 4-hour manual deploys into 12-minute automated pipelines.
About Me
Hi, I'm Lakshay Walia
A Delhi-based Cloud-Native Systems Engineer and AI/ML practitioner. I transform messy, manual server workflows into fully automated, self-healing infrastructure — and build intelligent AI systems that solve real-world problems.
My speciality? Taking complex stacks of 13+ services and packaging them into single-command deployments, training custom ML models on domain-specific data, and architecting RAG pipelines that make enterprise knowledge instantly searchable.
Technical Arsenal
