About Me

I'm a DevOps engineer in the learning phase — actively building real projects, earning certifications, and growing my cloud & automation skillset every day. Currently working as an Associate Engineer at Bassetti India while dedicating my own time to hands-on DevOps practice.

I have practical, hands-on exposure to Docker and Kubernetes — I've deployed apps, configured services, and set up monitoring stacks. I understand how they work and I'm comfortable getting my hands dirty, though I know I'm still building depth and there's a lot more to learn.

On the CI/CD side, I can read, understand, and follow Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines — I've built simple ones myself and I understand the stages involved. With proper guidance and real-world exposure, I'm confident I can ramp up quickly to more complex workflows.

My next goal is MLOps — I'm currently learning AI and ML fundamentals so I can eventually bridge the gap between DevOps infrastructure and machine learning workflows. I'm not there yet, but I'm deliberately building toward it.

Response Time Reduction at Work
I got into DevOps because I wanted to understand how software actually makes it from a developer's laptop to production. I've been learning by doing — building real projects, reading docs, breaking things in labs, and slowly connecting the dots. I'm not an expert yet, but I'm consistent and I show up every day.
I've containerized apps with Docker and deployed them on Kubernetes (KIND). I understand pods, deployments, services, and how replicas work. I've also set up Prometheus + Grafana monitoring on a cluster. It's real hands-on work — not just tutorials. I'm building depth, not claiming mastery.
Docker Kubernetes KIND Deployments Services Prometheus Grafana
I can read, understand, and write simple CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions. I know the core stages — build, test, push, deploy — and I've implemented basic flows in my projects. I won't pretend I can architect enterprise-grade pipelines from scratch, but with guidance and exposure, I'll get there fast.
Jenkins GitHub Actions Argo CD Basic CI/CD flows Git workflows
I learn by building. Every concept I study goes into a project and gets pushed to GitHub. I don't just watch tutorials — I break things in labs, debug real errors, and document what I learn. That's the approach that's gotten me here, and it's what will take me further.

Featured Projects

Real-world projects covering the full DevOps spectrum — from pipelines to production observability.

DevSecOps · CI/CD
DevSecOps Pipeline for Streaming App
🔐

Followed a DevSecOps pipeline setup using Jenkins and Argo CD for a streaming application. Integrated SonarQube for code quality checks and Trivy for container image scanning. Deployed to a local Kubernetes (KIND) cluster using GitOps principles — a great learning experience in building security into the pipeline.

Kubernetes · Monitoring
Kubernetes Deployment & Monitoring Stack
📊

Deployed a containerized Text Analyzer app on Kubernetes (KIND), configured with multiple replicas and NodePort services. Set up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the cluster and visualize basic metrics. Gained practical understanding of how container orchestration and observability fit together.

CI/CD Pipeline for Node.js App
⚙️

Built a simple CI/CD pipeline for a Node.js application using Jenkins and GitHub Actions. Covers the core stages — code checkout, build, Docker image creation, and deployment to AWS. Helped me understand how automated pipelines actually work end-to-end.

Terraform · IaC
Terraform Infrastructure Learning Lab
🔧

Hands-on Terraform learning repository covering AWS resource provisioning — EC2, S3, IAM, and more. Working through state management, module structure, and how IaC makes infrastructure reproducible and version-controlled. Still learning, but getting more comfortable with every apply.
