About

A friend asked if I can automate one of the quotidian tasks he was supposed to do for some org. Being in my 2nd year, I had little clue about programming. But writing a script for him put me on a path that I have begun to enjoy over time. Hey hey! I am Utkarsh. I like solving problems, and I think of technology as tool that we can leverage to make the world a more leisurely ride. I love engaging with tech blogs and enthusiastically grab onto any new technological concepts I come across. In my free time, you can find me relaxing with my family or devouring fiction. Experience with: C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, Nodejs, Kafka, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Go, AWS, GCP, Azure, CI/CD, DevOps
