about_me

System Operator Profile

I am a Site Reliability, DevOps, and Cloud Engineer based in Pune, Maharashtra. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from JSPM's Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering (Dec 2021 - June 2025).

My expertise lies at the intersection of scalable infrastructure, deployment automation, and system resilience. I specialize in architecting secure AWS cloud environments, orchestrating highly available Kubernetes clusters, and engineering zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines. I treat operations as a software problem—proactively implementing deep observability, optimizing incident response, and ensuring that mission-critical microservices remain highly available, secure, and performant.
