## About

Software Engineer with experience across Software Development, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, CI/CD, and Performance Engineering, currently pursuing an M\.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning from BITS Pilani\. I started my career in Performance Testing, gaining hands\-on experience in load testing, performance analysis, bottleneck identification, and application scalability\. I later moved into DevOps and Cloud Engineering, working with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Grafana\. My experience includes GitOps\-based deployments, CI/CD automation, infrastructure automation, production troubleshooting, root\-cause analysis, and engineering process optimization through automation\. I am also AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner \(AWS CCP\), validating my foundational knowledge of AWS Cloud and its core services\. Alongside my professional experience, I am pursuing an M\.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning from BITS Pilani, developing deeper expertise in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, AI, and data\-driven systems\. I am actively expanding my software engineering capabilities in Java, Data Structures & Algorithms, Backend Development, System Design, and AI/ML, with a focus on building scalable and reliable software systems\. I enjoy solving engineering problems end\-to\-end — from developing software and automating infrastructure to deploying, monitoring, optimizing, and improving systems in production\.
