About

I'm Pankaj Aswal, a SRE/DevOps Engineer with a passion for driving innovation and efficiency in technology. With over 9+ years of hands-on experience in the field, I have had the privilege of working with renowned organisations, contributing to their growth and success. My journey in the world of DevOps has been nothing short of exciting. At Paytm Payments Bank (Fintech), I have been instrumental in steering SRE/DevOps initiatives, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Apache Kafka, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Docker, Jenkins, Helm Charts, Python, Kubernetes, Monitoring and Shell Scripting. I take pride in my ability to design robust systems and ensure their reliability, an essential aspect of modern technology landscapes. In my previous role at Airtel (Telecom), I further honed my skills by working with AWS, Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, Jenkins, Datadog, Bitbucket, and Jira. My responsibilities ranged from system capacity planning to security controls implementation, always with a focus on optimization performance and minimising errors through automation. My journey into DevOps began at IBM, where I contributed to a pivotal Airtel project that catered to telecommunication services for PAN India prepaid Airtel users. This experience not only strengthened my technical skills but also instilled in me a commitment to delivering excellence. I'm recognised for my adaptability, problem-solving skills, and ability to stay current with emerging technologies. My dedication to continuous improvement has earned me accolades, including the Rockstar awards at Paytm Payments Bank. Feel free to connect with me to explore collaborative opportunities, share insights, or simply engage in discussions about the ever-evolving DevOps landscape. Let's connect and embark on a journey to push the boundaries of technology together. #SRE #DevOps #AWS #Kubernetes #Innovation #TechnologyOperations #Platform #FinTech #Banking
