My Story

I’m Kalyan Reddy Daida, a DevOps & SRE Architect based in Hyderabad, India, with 18+ years of experience designing complex infrastructure solutions across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

I started StackSimplify with a simple belief: the best way to learn cloud infrastructure is to build it yourself. No slides, no theory dumps — just real-world demos where you type every command and see real infrastructure come to life.

Today, over 383,000 engineers from 180+ countries have enrolled in my courses, and I’ve published 21 hands-on courses — each with a companion GitHub repository containing step-by-step instructions you can fork and follow.

Teaching Philosophy

Every StackSimplify course follows three principles:

1. Real-World First — I don’t teach toy examples. Every demo uses production-grade architectures, real AWS/Azure/GCP services, and patterns I’ve used in enterprise environments.

2. GitHub for Everything — Every course has a public GitHub repo with complete code, documentation, and step-by-step instructions. You’ll never be stuck wondering “what did the instructor just type.”

3. Multi-Cloud Perspective — I teach the same concepts across AWS, Azure, and GCP so you understand cloud-agnostic patterns, not just one vendor’s way of doing things.

What’s Next: Infrastructure to Intelligence

I’m expanding from pure DevOps education into MLOps and AI — helping engineers who’ve mastered infrastructure learn how to productionize machine learning models. This “Infrastructure to Intelligence” journey means new courses on MLOps (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, GCP Vertex AI) and AI certification prep are coming in 2026.
