Some of my code deletes infrastructure. Most of the work went into making sure it only deletes the right things.
I’m Swayam Prakash Kar, a Software Engineer at Confluent and an NIT Rourkela ’26 graduate. During my internship, I took a Go-based Kubernetes cleanup system from an empty repository to production and helped move a service from static cloud credentials to short-lived ones. My interests sit around distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer tools.
Previously at VENQ, I built web and admin tools and integrated Notion and Gemini into a blog workflow. Outside work, I build CloudMisScan, collaborate on projects like GradePro and CasePilot, and write about what I learn. I also enjoy programming contests, hackathons with Team Kryos, and exploring algorithmic trading.
