About Me

I'm a B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering (AI & ML) graduate focused on DevOps and Cloud Engineering. I build hands-on projects using AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and GitOps, with an emphasis on automating infrastructure and making deployment workflows repeatable.

Across projects including PokéVault Legends, Votex, and Full-Stack ChatApp, I've worked on infrastructure provisioning, containerization, automated build-and-release pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, security scanning, and monitoring. These projects help me practice how the pieces of a delivery workflow fit together—from source control and infrastructure to deployment, troubleshooting, and operational visibility.

I'm looking to grow as a DevOps / Cloud Engineer by contributing to real engineering teams, strengthening automation and reliability, and continuously improving through hands-on problem-solving and clear technical documentation.

My DevOps Workflow

DevOps delivery workflow

Stage What I worked with
Source Git, GitHub, GitHub Webhooks
CI/CD Jenkins, Jenkinsfile, Declarative Pipeline, GitHub Actions
Quality SonarQube, Static Analysis, Quality Gates
Security Trivy, Filesystem Scanning, Container Vulnerability Scanning
Build Docker, Docker Compose, Docker Hub, Multi-stage Builds
Infrastructure Terraform, AWS Provider, VPC, EKS, Remote State
Deploy Helm, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Minikube, Nginx

What I am Working On

Building Production-Ready DevOps Workflows

I'm continuing to refine my DevOps and Cloud Engineering projects, focusing on reliable infrastructure, automated delivery, security, and operations.

Current Focus Areas

  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and AWS infrastructure design.
  • CI/CD & GitOps: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, and progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts across different projects.
  • DevSecOps: Code quality, vulnerability scanning, software bills of materials (SBOMs), and container image signing.
  • Observability & FinOps: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and OpenCost.
  • Reliability: Kubernetes health checks, deployment validation, rollback strategies, and troubleshooting.

My goal is to build projects that demonstrate repeatable deployments, practical security controls, operational visibility, and cost-aware infrastructure, supported by clear documentation of engineering decisions.


Build it. Deploy it. Break it. Fix it. Learn from it.
