Architecting Self-Healing Enterprise Operations: AI + DevSecOps | Akshay Mittal | SW Engineer | 4K

Akshay Mittal, Software Engineer, PayPal and Sanjay Kalluvilayil explore the future of Enterprise AI and AI-augmented DevSecOps. Askshay explains why security must shift from reactive to predictive, how to make agentic workflows production-ready, and what it really takes to use AI to solve real-world problems.Based in Austin, TX, Akshay Mittal is completing his PhD in AI/ML-Driven Security and Automation Strategies for Cloud-Native Architectures and is a leader in the AI technical community.Key Insights1. Reinvent - Move from Reactive to Predictive Security- Embed AI directly into the deployment pipeline to flag risky code in real time and predict vulnerabilities.- Treat security as a self-defending system with continuous compliance, not a post-breach clean-up process.2. Experiment - Make Agentic AI Production-Ready with AIOps- Use LLM-based agents for root cause analysis and autonomous remediation, not just chatbot automation.- Build for scalability and reproducibility using cloud-native foundations like Kubernetes plus MLOps layers (example: Kubeflow, KServe) and strong guardrails.3. Execute - Measure, Automate, and Build Self-Healing Operations- Measure everything first (latency, error rates, delivery metrics) because you can’t streamline what you don’t measure.- Automate the bottlenecks, then build systems that fix themselves, and in GTM, sell the result not the algorithm.The AI Space Podcast — Season 2 | Episode 6 🎙️ Guest: Akshay Mittal | Software Engineer | Paypal🎙️ Host: Sanjay Kalluvilayil | Founder & CEO | Stonehaas Advisors | Creator | The AI Space Podcast🔔 Subscribe - Game-changing real world insights for AI Founders & Start-ups!Key Links: 🌐 https://theaispacepodcast.ai📅 https://calendly.com/sanjay-stonehaasadvisors/ai-advantage-15-minChapters00:00 Trailer01:56 Welcome and Introductions02:48 Key Trends in AI06:59 Top AI Strategies to Grow & Scale10:03 PayPal Disclaimer11:30 Akshay's AI Journey13:33 White Papers & Awards14:50 AI Communities/ Associations18:16 Current Role19:14 Subscribe & Follow Us19:40 AI-ML Architecture & Tech Stack22:48 Surprising 2025 Insight!25:16 AI Tools33:14 Why The AI Space Podcast?34:41 Vision, Mindset, & Strategy36:45 Sales & Marketing Insights39:13 Streamline & Scale Operations42:19 AI Democratization45:03 Ethical & Responsible AI48:04 Final Thoughts & Encouragement52:32 Outro53:24 Subscribe & Follow UsHost Bio: Sanjay Kalluvilayil is a visionary leader on a mission to help AI businesses win clients, convert sales, and scale operations to maximize cash flow and valuation.
