Tanish Chahal

I am a systems-focused backend and DevOps engineer who thrives on solving complex infrastructure puzzles. Instead of just writing standard feature code, I focus on building the underlying frameworks that keep systems secure, automated, and resilient.

My favorite technical challenges involve resource optimization and scrappy, high-utility automation. I engineered a multi-service private cloud environment by repurposing a smartphone with a broken display into a headless server, configuring it to sustain high uptime against background process limits, and securing the containerized stack across a Tailscale VPN mesh. I have also designed idempotent, zero-intervention Linux provisioning engines using Bash to stand up hardened, production-ready server environments with strict error-handling and automated health validation routines.

I am currently pursuing a BS in Data Science from IIT Madras. Because my degree program is fully remote and asynchronous, I have complete schedule flexibility to commit to full-time, 40-hour engineering roles immediately. I am looking for high-ownership opportunities where I can tackle deep systems architecture, backend scaling, and automation pipelines.
