Hi, I'm Karthik Balasubramanian — a Software Engineer at Adobe specializing in Site Reliability, Observability, and Resilient Systems. Driven by solving core business challenges, I bridge high-level business strategy with deep technical execution — seamlessly connecting big-picture architecture to the finest engineering details. I partner closely with research and business teams to transform experimental POCs into robust, production-ready products. In my free time, I build tools to solve lingering problems I encounter in day-to-day life and make them useful for others. I do not collect, store, or use your data for any purpose.
