About Me

Mission-driven DevOps Engineer with a vision of learning and solving real life problems.

I love solving problems that make people's life easier. I am currently exploring how to connect the dots and making things work. I am a book lover too. You will find handful of books in my shelf.

Professionally, I automate manual work that should not be done by humans. I am a security geek and proficient in Python and Amazon Web Services. My profession made me an AWS expert through which I can solve problems of people by automating a lot of work and saving humans from doing redundant work. I am also curious about security that always inspires me to get make things secure.

Along with that, I do read about emerging technologies like Blockchain and Quantum Computing
