Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) – Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belgaum
AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional
Honestly, cloud computing just blows my mind—the way it’s completely flipped the script on how we build and run stuff online? Wild. I geek out over gnarly problems, and I’ll admit, I get a kick out of figuring out smarter, faster ways to get things done (automation is basically my best friend at this point). Can’t stop tinkering and learning, either—there’s always some new rabbit hole to dive into.
When I’m off the clock, you’ll probably catch me doomscrolling through tech blogs, messing around in random open-source projects, or just out on my bike trying to clear my head. Oh, and I love helping newbies get their footing in engineering—it’s weirdly satisfying. End of the day, I’m all about keeping things honest, pushing for top quality, and actually making a dent, not just showing up. That’s the stuff that matters, right?
Look, when it comes to planning big-picture stuff and actually getting it done? That’s my bread and butter. I build out infrastructure plans that don’t just look good on paper—they actually scale and fit where the company wants to go (none of that “make it work later” nonsense).
As for project wrangling, I’ve got the scars from running full-on DevOps and cloud overhauls, juggling a million moving parts in places where everything changes every five minutes. Fast-paced, agile? You have no idea.
I’m not just off in a corner either. I roll up my sleeves and work with devs, testers, product folks—whoever’s in the mix—to make sure our pipelines don’t turn into spaghetti code. Integration and deployment should be smooth, not an afterthought.
Mentoring? Yep, been there. I actually enjoy helping junior engineers find their feet and push the team to keep getting better. No gatekeeping, just sharing what I know and trying new things.
On the fire-fighting front, I’ve led my share of root-cause drills and handled enough incident reports to write a novel. I keep SLAs tight and always look for ways to cut off issues before they explode. Reliability isn’t just a buzzword for me.
And yeah, I can translate “techie” into something leadership and non-tech folks actually understand, without their eyes glazing over. Tech shouldn’t sound like wizard-speak, right?
Cloud Stuff: AWS is basically my second home—think EC2, S3, Lambda, VPC, CloudWatch, RDS, IAM, and honestly, a bunch more. I’ve poked around most corners.
IaC Vibes: Terraform and AWS CloudFormation? Yeah, we’re on a first-name basis. I like making infrastructure modular, so it doesn’t feel like herding cats every time something changes.
CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions—I’ve wrangled all of them for that sweet, sweet automated deploy life. No more “it works on my machine” drama.
Containers & Orchestration: Docker? Kubernetes? Helm? Used 'em all—spun up clusters, dealt with container chaos, the whole messy party.
Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Splunk—if it spits out metrics, I’ve probably wired it into a dashboard at 2AM.
Automation & Scripting: Bash and Python are my go-to weapons for getting rid of repetitive nonsense. If I have to do it twice, it gets a script.
Security: Cloud security isn’t just a checkbox. IAM, encryption, logging, automated audits—it’s all baked in from the start. No cutting corners.
Version Control: Git ninja over here. Branching, merging, code reviews—yeah, I’m all about that clean commit history.
Linux: Ran production Linux servers long enough to have a healthy paranoia about logs, uptime, and weird kernel panics.
I’m basically a tech Swiss Army knife—deep enough in the nitty-gritty to solve weird problems, but I can actually talk to humans outside of engineering too (imagine that). I’ve done my time in the high-stakes world of fintech, so I know how to keep stuff locked down tight, even when the pressure’s at eleven. Throw a production fire my way? I’ll put it out and automate the next dozen so they never start. I’m all about building stuff that scales, but I’m not gonna blow your cloud budget in the process. Oh, and DevSecOps best practices? That’s just how I roll. Team player, agile junkie, and always chasing ways to make things run smoother, faster, and smarter.
