Sudhakar Pallaprolu · Lead AIOps Engineer & Cloud Architect
Built in the open.
One discipline, practised in three places. By day I run AI-driven operations for a large enterprise. Outside it, I release the same tooling as open source, publish the patterns as papers and patents, review other people’s research, and write it up for operations teams.
01 / Open source
Tools for operations,
and tools for research.
Two threads: the AIOps discipline from work, and the
tooling I needed for the papers below. Figures are live.
AI and AIOps tooling
The discipline I practise at work, released as open source: anomaly detection, right-sizing, drift detection for LLM apps, and context packing.
metrisight
Lightweight metric anomaly detection dashboard for developers (AIOps)
kube-foresight
Predictive Resource Optimizer for Kubernetes — identifies over-provisioned deployments and generates right-sizing patches
promptmetrics
Lightweight drift detection for LLM apps in production — capture a baseline, detect when latency, cost, or behavior diverges.
contextcut
Pack a repository into ultra-dense, AI-optimized Markdown — gitignore-aware, noise-pruned, with token estimates
Research tooling
Built for my own research workflow, now used by researchers in ten countries.
mendeley-mcp
MCP server for Mendeley reference manager - search, retrieve, and manage your academic library from Claude and other MCP clients
dev-scholar
Research workflow accelerator that automates metadata retrieval for academic citations embedded in code.
devscholar-jupyter
DevScholar for JupyterLab - Link research papers (arXiv, DOI, IEEE) directly in your notebooks with hover metadata and PDF preview
Code quality
A fix for a problem every large codebase has: documentation that no longer matches the code.
Contributions to other projects
Fixes merged into two projects with a combined 125,000 GitHub stars.
Next.js 15 navigation fix, merged by the core team
Diagnosed a React Context mismatch in the Storybook and Next.js 15 integration that caused full page reloads instead of client-side navigation. A four-line Webpack alias fix, reviewed and merged by a core maintainer.
Root-cause diagnosis, merged with named maintainer credit
Diagnosed and proposed the core fixes for defects in the open-source AI coding assistant. The maintainer merged the consolidated pull request crediting the analysis by name.

content-studio
Claude plugin: post verified AI news to X from a Notion radar, one voice across drafts, and concept-explainer videos rendered from a design system.
homebrew-tap
Homebrew formulas for ContextCut prebuilt binaries
restdeck
A lightweight, keyboard-driven REST API client TUI built in Rust using Ratatui and Tokio.

What I’m working on
this month.
Updated September 2026.
Three or four things at a time.
Mendeley MCP, agent-driven literature reviews
Extending the server so an agent can run a full literature review against a personal library and return citations in any format.
DevScholar for JupyterLab
Bringing hover metadata and in-notebook PDF preview for arXiv and DOI references to notebooks.
kube-foresight
A predictive right-sizing tool for Kubernetes that finds over-provisioned deployments and generates patches.
Writing on AIOps and digital employee experience
Practical guides for IT operations teams, published on Medium.
05 / The day job
Where the patterns
come from.
Everything above happens outside it.
Profile on LinkedInBy day I am a lead AIOps engineer and cloud architect at a large enterprise: DevOps, AI automation, and platform engineering, most of it under client confidentiality. The patterns in the papers above and the tooling in the repositories come from this work. The professional record, with roles and references, is on LinkedIn.
