# Jitan Gupta — AI Adoption Practitioner

## Who I Am

Senior Platform Engineer with 10+ years of enterprise software experience. I help teams and individuals adopt AI tools responsibly — practically, without hype, and in ways that stick in daily work.

Based in Mumbai. Teaching globally through YouTube, open source, and written guides.

## What I Focus On

- **AI-Assisted Development:** How engineering teams can use AI tools without losing code quality or architectural control
- **AI for Non-Technical Professionals:** Document automation, workflow optimization, and task management using AI — no coding required
- **Responsible Adoption:** When to use AI, when not to, and how to evaluate tools without getting locked into vendor hype

## Background

- 12 years running a general store before entering tech (operations mindset)
- 9+ years as a .NET developer and platform engineer: multi-tenant SaaS, Kubernetes migrations (400+ tenants), identity platforms (50K+ daily authentications), Azure cloud infrastructure
- 5 startup attempts (2018–2022), one scaled to 30K monthly active users
- Now: building AI tools in public and teaching through YouTube and open source; open to full-time Forward Deployed / Applied AI / AI Platform Engineering roles (globally remote, or relocation with visa sponsorship)

## Key Differentiator

Not a prompt influencer. A decade of production engineering — systems where downtime costs real money, shortcuts create incidents. That's the lens on AI adoption: not everything needs AI, and the things that do need it done carefully.

## Content & Platforms

- YouTube (@jitangupta) — tutorials in Hinglish (Hindi + English) on AI tools, Kubernetes, cloud engineering

## Case Studies (Enterprise Engineering)

- Zero-Downtime Migration to AKS for 400+ Tenants (22% cost reduction)
- AI-Powered Release Orchestration for Multi-Tenant SaaS (working RAG POC; cuts upgrade planning from 2 hours to 10 minutes, ~$17K modeled annual savings)
- Legacy University Credit System modernized to cloud-native (300% deployment-frequency improvement)
- User Management migration from Microsoft Membership to Azure (zero downtime)

## Open Source Projects
