Aditya Pola is an AWS DevOps and Chef engineer based in Minneapolis with six years of experience automating cloud infrastructure and CI/CD for enterprises including Capital One and Target. He specializes in Chef-driven configuration, Jenkins Job-DSL, Groovy/Gradle scripting, and packaging stacks such as Java, Python, Hortonworks, RabbitMQ and MongoDB, and has used OpenStack HOT to orchestrate production components. He pairs hands-on observability work (New Relic) with test and pipeline hardening to keep large-scale deployments reliable. Unusually for an ops engineer, he contributes to ML and RL open-source projects—tuning core data-type and layer-normalization logic in ivy and improving PettingZoo’s testing and CI—bridging model development nuances into production-ready infrastructure.
