Hi, I'm Shashank Karpal

Growth and partnerships lead for IMEA, APAC, and CIS at KodeKloud, a hands-on learning platform for AI-native DevOps and cloud used by 1.5M+ learners worldwide.

This is my personal space on GitHub. Everything I publish, build, or write here is my own. Views, repos, and experiments are mine alone and do not represent the positions, strategies, or opinions of KodeKloud or anyone I work with.


What I actually do

I run growth across three segments in three regions:

  • Enterprise: Platform engineering leaders, L&D, and CIOs moving from AI curiosity to measurable capability.
  • Universities and colleges: Embedding hands-on, industry-aligned learning into curricula and employability pathways.
  • Public sector: Supporting national and regional workforce initiatives with practical, outcome-led programs.

Regions I cover: IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa), APAC, and CIS. Based in Dubai, working across time zones from Lagos to Jakarta.


Why I'm on GitHub

Most growth and sales roles do not require a GitHub profile. Mine does, because I believe the best GTM people in technical markets should actually build things. I use this profile to:

  • Ship small tools that solve problems I personally hit (network monitoring, personal knowledge capture, health data aggregation).
  • Experiment with local AI, MCP servers, and privacy-first developer workflows.
  • Keep my instincts close to the tools our learners and customers use every day.

If you care about growth in developer-facing and AI-first markets, reading code still matters.


Currently building

  • netwatch: A trust-first network monitor. A fork of Sniffnet with a classification layer that labels connections as expected, new, or flagged. Built for people who want to understand what their machine is actually talking to.
  • content-digest-app: A local-first Mac menu bar app that captures URLs, summarises them with a local LLM, and builds a personal knowledge base. Zero external data leaves the machine.
  • A small stack of health intelligence tooling that correlates data across multiple wearables.

All experiments run on local models (LM Studio, Qwen) where possible. I prefer privacy-first setups.


What I think about

  • AI literacy is table stakes. AI readiness is the real unlock.
  • Upskilling programs fail when they optimise for course completion instead of behaviour change.
  • The education-to-employability gap is a hands-on skills gap, not a content gap.
  • Growth in technical markets is won by people who speak the language of the end user, not just the buyer.
