About

Spinning projects and people around the efficiency loop isn’t easy. In my 11 years of experience in the software industry, this is what I have developed - an innate sense of people and how their strengths come together in the larger picture of a team. The leap from incremental to exponential success can only happen with a clear, goal-driven environment that considers each team more than just the sum of its parts. Throughout my career, I have appended my knowledge from various job profiles and certifications that allow me to simplify networks and identify improvement areas. My armor is lateral thinking which helps me craft sustainable solutions, as evidenced by my consistent delivery in every team I work with. As a seasoned professional, I am well-versed in open-source technologies. My expertise extends to Linux, Cloud (Public and Private), Containers, and Container Orchestration platforms such as RHEL, AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack, Docker/Podman, and Kubernetes/OpenShift, as well as technologies like Virtualization with VMware/KVM, Automation with Terraform/Ansible, Storage with CEPH, Source Control with Git/GitLab, and more. My extensive technical skills and certifications, including those from Red Hat, VMware, DevOps Foundation, GitLab, CNCF, and AWS/Microsoft Azure, have further fortified my ability to spearhead successful projects with relative ease and strengthen cohesiveness within teams.
