What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a cloud or backend engineering role where I can apply infrastructure-as-code, automation (Terraform, Ansible), containerization, and Python to build secure, scalable platforms and grow into system-design leadership.

Software Engineer | DevOps & Cloud Enthusiast | Problem Solver

Hi there! I’m Bhargavi, a passionate Computer Science graduate with expertise in Software Engineering and DevOps/Cloud technologies. I love building scalable systems, automating workflows, and solving complex problems with code.

🔹 What I Do Best:

Cloud & DevOps: I automate infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible, deploy applications with Docker, and manage cloud resources on AWS.

Backend Development: I build robust APIs with Python (Flask/Django), Go, and gRPC, ensuring performance and scalability.

Full-Stack Skills: From React.js frontends to MySQL/MongoDB backends, I enjoy creating seamless user experiences.

🔹 My Journey So Far:

As a Cloud Engineer, I designed virtual lab environments for 50+ students using Terraform and Ansible.
Developed a secure LMS platform with Laravel, boosting efficiency by 40% and reducing bounce rates by 15%. Built a multi-threaded token manager in Go, achieving 95% uptime with fail-safe replication.

🔹 Why Work With Me?
I thrive in collaborative environments, love learning new tech, and believe in clean, efficient code. Whether it’s optimizing systems or automating deployments, I’m always up for a challenge!
