Nagesh Bansal is a DevRel with four years of experience focused on cloud-native reliability, chaos engineering, and developer tooling, currently at SigNoz and a core team member at LitmusChaos. He contributed backend Go and GraphQL work to LitmusChaos—adding GitOps triggers, database fixes and unit-testable features—and progressed from LFX mentee to LFX mentor and core contributor. As a GSoC student developer for Weecology@NumFocus he built a Python pipeline to retrieve and prepare NEON geospatial datasets and expanded test coverage across multiple formats for the retriever project. His hands-on stack spans Go, Python, R, REST APIs, CI/CD and geopandas, and he pairs platform engineering experience (MLOps at Physarum.ai) with active robotics leadership at IIT Roorkee. A gold-medalist in Drone Aviation at Inter IIT Tech Meet 2023, he combines competition-winning pragmatism with open-source stewardship and a continual appetite for new domains.
Litmus helps SREs and developers practice chaos engineering in a Cloud-native way. Chaos experiments are published at the ChaosHub (https://hub.litmuschaos.io). Community notes is at https://hackmd.io/a4Zu_sH4TZGeih-xCimi3Q
