About

A passionate engineer with an exhaustive experience in architecting, developing and improving software systems - On premise as well as on cloud. Having worked in organization's of widely varying sizes - I have the ability adapt easily in different work environments and scale up my abilities as needed to match the expectations of any challenging job at hand. Personally I am fascinated with "Automation" of processes - Process of infrastructure provisioning, process of deployment of applications or the business processes for the clients. Aside from the above, I have been an avid blogger in the past and been a one-on-one trainer for few software professionals to help them learn and grow in their careers from the mistakes and learnings that I carry ~ The knowledge you have is no good if it's stale or it's not shared ~
