About

I am a DevOps evangelist and Site Reliability specialist working with a plathora of tools and technologies to make the development of the product faster, smoother and better. Have worked on cloud technologies spanning from Azure , AWS to Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Architecting and migrating things to cloud is something I am really fond of. Deep dived into containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. One of my favourites is Designing and developing CI/CD pipelines and have done it for Mobile applications ranging from Android and iOS native apps as well as cross platform react native and xamarin apps, along with web applications and microservices. And the icing on the cake is setting up a comprehensive monitoring system to keep an eye on all that running around in the stack. Last but not the least my experience cuts across multiple domains being banking and finance, media, automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics.
