About Me

I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer based in Chennai. I started in IT infrastructure support, where I spent 3+ years managing systems, networks, Active Directory and user access for 100+ endpoints.

Today I focus on AWS and automation. I've built three end-to-end CI/CD projects that take an app from a Git commit to a live deployment on EC2 and Kubernetes (EKS), with monitoring and alerts.

I completed the 7-month GUVI × HCL DevOps Program and the DevOps and AI on AWS Specialization, and I'm open to Cloud and DevOps roles.
