About Me

I'm a DevOps Engineer based in Pune, India, currently working as a Senior Software Engineer DevOps in the FinTech domain. I specialize in designing, implementing, and managing cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines across AWS and Azure environments.

My expertise spans Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, containerization with Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes (EKS/AKS). I've helped teams cut infrastructure costs by up to 40% through serverless architecture and automation, while maintaining zero-downtime deployments in 24/7 production environments.

I'm passionate about building scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud-native solutions, and I enjoy mentoring engineers on DevOps best practices.
