Aqib Khan
Software Developer and Architect
Building AI solutions for infrastructure, orchestration, and developer experience.
About
I'm a cloud engineer and software developer with 6+ years designing and operating large-scale distributed systems on AWS and Kubernetes. My work spans blockchain infrastructure, AI/ML compute platforms, and the developer tooling that keeps them shipping.
I care about the boring things that make systems reliable - observability, zero-downtime deployments, infrastructure as code - and about turning gnarly infra problems into clean abstractions engineers actually enjoy working with.
I've always been drawn to distributed and decentralized computing, confidential computing, and machine learning - designing systems that stay coordinated without a single point of control, and that keep data protected even while it's being processed.

Vert.xSuccess Stories
Wherever I've worked, I try to leave something behind that outlasts me - a product that ships, a platform a team keeps building on, a prototype that turns into a real business. A few that stuck:
SAP Digital Aged Care to SAP Homemade
A prototype that became a product
The elderly-care monitoring prototype I helped build as a founding engineer grew into SAP Homemade, now a shipping SAP product. It was a Hasso-Plattner Innovation Award finalist and generated millions in revenue.
SAP Labs · 2021-2022
SAP's first real-time replication platform
I helped architect SAP's first real-time replication platform - a low-latency distributed system with end-to-end observability that shaped how the team built distributed services afterward.
InfStones · 2024-Present
Confidential computing for major crypto companies
I designed and delivered two production confidential-computing networks for well-known crypto companies, each solving trusted multi-party computation a different way - one through a shared trusted channel, one through direct networking.
Project MARVIN · SAP Labs India
A ChatOps assistant teams actually adopted
MARVIN, a ChatOps service I built, took second place in a company-wide hackathon and was adopted by development teams across SAP Labs India, integrating with MS Teams and Slack for daily workflows.
