About

As a Software Engineer at Red Hat, I specialize in DevOps, Kubernetes, and open-source technologies. With a robust background as a full-stack developer and tech content creator, I am passionate about driving innovation in container orchestration and continuous delivery. I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Systems Engineering from KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar, class of 2022. During my academic journey, I served as a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, Mozilla Community Lead, and Community Coordinator at E-Labs, KIIT's Technical Society. These roles allowed me to mentor and train students in emerging technologies across various domains. In my professional career, I have actively contributed to the opensource community. I have built scalable, secure, and self-healing architectures for deploying web applications on cloud infrastructures. My expertise includes DevOps, Cloud-native tech, Kubernetes, Machine Learning, AI, Terraform, Docker, GitOps, and more. I have a proven track record in competitive tech events, winning the TCS Inframinds Season 4 Hackathon and the Civo Hackathon. My project work frequently centres around leveraging Kubernetes for seamless deployment and orchestration of applications. I am also an avid speaker and attendee at various tech conferences. Highlights include attending Kubecon EU 2022 in Valencia, Spain, EU 2024 in Paris, France, and presenting at Mozilla Community events and Kubernetes Community Days Chennai. My presentations often explore the integration of serverless CI/CD on Kubernetes with GitOps methodologies, utilizing tools like Knative, Tekton, and ArgoCD. Certified in AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and OpenShift, I continue to expand my knowledge and contribute to the tech community.
