What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for professional growth and impactful projects.

With over six years of extensive experience in Cloud and DevOps Engineering, I have honed my skills in creating efficient CI/CD pipelines and managing cloud resources, particularly within the Banking and EdTech sectors. My certifications in Azure Fundamentals and Azure Administrator, along with ITIL V4, reflect my commitment to maintaining high standards in software development and deployment.

Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at Powerschool India Pvt Ltd, where I manage GitLab runners and configure CI/CD pipelines to streamline our development processes. My previous roles have equipped me with a robust understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like ARM Templates and Terraform, and I have successfully implemented build automation using TeamCity and Octopus Deploy. I thrive in startup environments, where I can leverage my problem-solving skills and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions.
