Rahul Gorai

I build cloud infrastructure that disappears — the kind nobody notices, because it simply never fails. Kubernetes, Terraform and a stubborn refusal to ship anything I can't rebuild from scratch.

From concrete
to clusters

The best infrastructure is invisible. You only ever learn its name the night it breaks. — Working principle

I started out engineering structures you could touch. A diploma in Civil Engineering in Bishnupur, West Bengal — load paths, tolerances, foundations that have to hold for fifty years. Then I found systems that carry more weight than any bridge I could have drawn, and I never went back.

The vocabulary transferred perfectly. Blueprints became Terraform. Load-bearing became load balancing. Factor of safety became replica count. I pivoted into Computer Science, finished with an 8.93 CGPA, and started building the kind of architecture you cannot photograph.

Today I design highly available environments on Google Cloud — GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Memorystore — and I have taken monoliths apart and rebuilt them cloud-native for a 40% cut in run cost. I write Terraform because a system you cannot recreate from a file is not a system, it is a liability.

And when the terminal closes, I run Linux workshops for juniors and peers. Every engineer I have learned from gave their time away freely. That debt only settles one direction.

Searce Inc Aug 2024 — Jan 2026 Mumbai, Maharashtra · India Completed

Cloud Engineer

  • Designed and shipped highly available, scalable infrastructure on Google Cloud — GCE, GKE, Cloud SQL, GCS, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions and Memorystore.
  • Transformed monolithic applications into cloud-native services, landing a 40% cost saving through sharper resource utilisation.
  • Built and maintained CI/CD on GitHub Actions and Cloud Build for continuous, hands-off delivery.
  • Engineered multi-region deployment strategy with Terraform and Ansible for seamless, repeatable rollouts.
  • Ran containerisation with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes, lifting application performance and density.
  • Operated core networking — VPC, subnets and load balancers — for secure, resilient environments.

Things I built
because they needed building

PROJECT 01 / DELIVERY

Multi-Cloud Delivery Pipeline

A multi-stage, multi-cloud CI/CD pipeline in GitHub Actions that deploys several applications from one control surface — running on self-hosted ARC runners inside a GKE cluster, so build capacity scales with the cluster instead of against a hosted-runner quota.

CI/CDKubernetesAutoscalingMulti-Cloud
PROJECT 02 / GENAI

Multi-Agent Assistant Platform

A multi-agent chatbot built on the Google Agent Development Kit, combining RAG retrieval, custom agent tools and an MCP server for capability exposure. Served from Cloud Run behind a load balancer — scales to zero between conversations, scales out under load.
