About Me

Who I Am

DevOps Engineer passionate about building scalable, reliable infrastructure. Skilled in Kubernetes, GitOps, and cloud orchestration across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with a focus on automation and solving complex problems.

I hold a Bachelor's in Software Engineering from GITA, Bhubaneswar, with a strong foundation in computer science. I focus on building solutions that balance technical depth with user-friendly design.

Beyond tech, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and yes catching up on quality sleep. If you ever need a travel buddy or someone to debug your cloud stack, I'm your person!
