Secret Lifecycle Management

Secret Lifecycle Management

An IDE plugin that accelerates speed-to-market for DevOps engineers.

Engineers navigate through many open windows and browser tabs to manage secrets while building products. This perpetuates repetitive task switching that negatively impacts individual productivity and, in turn, department OKRs.

DevOps Engineers switch between multiple interfaces while working on coding tasks — to run vulnerability scans, unit tests, initiate deploy pipelines, and other tasks. This repetitive task-switching negatively affects team productivity and introduces errors in the workflow, thereby also affecting team and department OKRs.

In their first month, new employees are unable to fully engage with their teams and projects because of multiple onboarding and induction programs. This leads to an unstructured schedule and results in delayed productivity that affects product roadmaps and OKRs.

DevOps Ecosystem Learning Design

DevOps Ecosystem Learning Design

An interactive quick-start learning pathway for new hires and new teams

An interactive quick-start learning pathway for new hires and new teams

The DevOps ecosystem comprises many tools and technologies. With mergers and acquisitions, new developer tools, products and tech stacks get added to the existing ecosystem. Because of this ever-growing complexity,  the 5000+ engineering community often overlook newly added tools and features that can positively affect productivity, efficiency, business goals, and OKRs.

An interactive ‘cobot’ that can handle customer management for insurance agencies.

Market research showed that AI and its subsets (computer vision, NLP, machine learning, etc.) were being efficiently combined in collaborative robotics, pointing towards a future where human-robot collaboration will revolutionize industries.

This was a strategic research endeavour focused on long-term innovation, exploring the intersection of machine learning and HCI.
