About

I am a very passionate and lazy DevOps Engineer, I love Automation! I have 7+ years of experience in working with technologies like: Cloud computing(AWS,GCP) | Python | Kubernetes | Docker | Terraform | Jenkins | Linux | HELM | OPA | Prometheus | Vault | Istio | CI/CD | Perforce | Teamcity. Apart from my usual day to day work, I love to explore new things and enhance the existing infra/tools for the betterment of the team or the organisation as the whole. I’m a self-starter and professional team player with problem solving skills. I quickly learn and adapt myself when dealing with different systems, applications and tools. Well there's a lot more to it! Lets get connected :)
