One engineer, fourteen years of it, and a registered company to contract through.
I am Yogesh Lonkar, a principal platform engineer. I design, build and run platforms: Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, migrations, and the internal tooling engineering teams use every day. ICF Computers Private Limited is the company I contract and invoice through, registered in Pune with the CIN below.
The best consulting is done by practitioners, engineers who have shipped production systems, been paged at 2 am, and learned where theory and running software part company. Every engagement is led hands-on, without handoffs to junior staff.
I take on a small number of engagements at a time, so each one gets my full attention. If the work is not something I should take, I will say so rather than take it.
Practitioners, not consultants
I write code, configure clusters and review pull requests. What you have at the end is a working system your team can run.
Outcomes over outputs
I track DORA metrics, cost deltas and cycle time rather than hours billed. If the work will not move them, I say so before we start.
Knowledge stays with you
Every engagement includes documentation and knowledge transfer. When we leave, your team can own, extend, and maintain everything we built.
