About Me

My love for computers brought me to learning networking and linux, and learning linux brought me to devops. Its been 7+ years now and I am still learning and growing. Currently I am into Open-Source projects and working at Wipro as Site Reliability Engineer. I have completed my bachelors degree, worked for a startup to build their web infrastructure and done multiple projects for personal and community use cases.

You can find my works, blogs and about me, check out my social page and blogs on my recent learnings and any explanation of technologies that will help you and me to grow in future 😊.
