## About

```text
At Nishkaiv Solution LLP, I supported Federal Bank’s UPI and Balance Enquiry applications and helped maintain 99.9% availability. I configured ELK Stack, Apache Kafka, Redis, and AWS infrastructure for production systems.

I automated monitoring with Metricbeat, Stack Monitoring, and Filebeat, improving data processing efficiency by 30%. I also handled production incidents and root cause analysis, reducing recurring issues by 25%.

At Hudl India Private Limited, I managed ELK Stack for centralized logging and visualization, supported Apache Kafka clusters, and resolved production issues involving ELK and Kafka infrastructure.

My project work has included supporting banking applications on Kubernetes and AWS, providing infrastructure and application support for an NPS platform, and setting up Valkey cluster and standalone environments.
