DevLoops Consulting

Infrastructure that holds up, from the cloud to the robot.

DevLoops is a boutique DevOps and cloud consultancy. I help robotics, autonomy, and software teams ship faster, run reliably, and spend less on cloud.

20+ years building and running production infrastructure, at

  • Technology Innovation Institute
  • Zoomcar
  • Freshdesk
  • CoLearn
  • Fybr
  • Verloop
  • Accenture
  • Infosys

Two practices. One engineering standard.

Most consultants know the cloud or know robots. Robotics teams need both, because the robot and the backend fail together.

Robotics and autonomy infrastructure

For teams that move robots from the demo to the field.

  • Fleet telemetry and observability for ROS 2
  • CI/CD and simulation pipelines for ROS 2
  • Over-the-air updates with staged rollout and rollback
  • Edge-to-cloud pipelines for sensor data
  • High availability for safety-critical operations

Cloud and platform engineering

For software teams that need a platform that scales without drama.

  • Cloud architecture and migration on AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Kubernetes and container platforms
  • CI/CD and infrastructure as code
  • Cloud cost reviews and right-sizing
  • Security, reliability, and infrastructure audits

Where robotics teams get stuck

These problems come back in almost every robotics team I talk to. Each one has a known fix.

“It worked in simulation.”
A mission fails in the field and nobody can say why. I set up correlated telemetry, so you can replay what the robot did and the reason it did it.
Every release is a risk.
Updates go to robots by hand, one at a time. I build staged over-the-air rollouts with health checks and fast rollback.
Data grows faster than the fleet.
Bags and logs fill disks and buckets. I design what stays on the robot, what goes to the cloud, and what gets deleted.
The cloud bill is a surprise.
Spend grows with no clear owner. I review it line by line, remove the waste, and set guardrails so it stays down.

You work with me directly

I am Ashwin Thanalapati. I have spent more than 20 years building and running infrastructure, first in software and now in autonomous systems. There is no hand-off to a junior team. The person who scopes the work does the work.

  • Robotics research Built infrastructure for autonomous robotics and drone swarms at Technology Innovation Institute, Abu Dhabi.
  • Hands-on robotics MSc Robotics, Middlesex University London. I build and run ROS 2 robots myself.
  • Product founder Founder of Orthos Robotics, which turns ROS 2 telemetry into OpenTelemetry traces.
  • Reliability 100% uptime for more than 18 months as Director of Engineering at CoLearn.

How an engagement works

  1. Call

    30 minutes, free. You describe the problem. I tell you honestly if I can help.

  2. Review

    I look at your systems, costs, and team setup. You get a short written summary.

  3. Proposal

    A fixed scope, a timeline, and a price. No open-ended hourly billing unless you want it.

  4. Delivery and handover

    I build it with your team, document it, and make sure your engineers can run it without me.
