About

I'm a curious, hands-on, and persistent person. I like understanding how things actually work, not just using them at a surface level. I learn best by doing, experimenting, and refining.

I enjoy building and evolving things over time—systems, workflows, and ideas.

As a DevSecOps Engineer by profession, I integrate security practices into every phase of the software development lifecycle, where I ensure scalable, secure, and resilient deployments.

💫 Eager to team up with engineers for impactful outcomes.
📫 Open to connect on any platform for collaboration or inquiries.

What I'm doing...

DevSecOps

Architecting CI/CD pipelines and automation strategies for seamless deployment and scaling of large applications.
System designing

Learning High level as well as Low level System design concepts to build scalable and optimal solutions.

Interests

Apart from profession there are multiple things that I enjoy. I love doing family & friends time, travelling & exploring globe, reading books, solving riddles/puzzles, playing sports, and swimming(MUST).
