I’m a DevOps Engineer with a Bachelor's degree from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT). Originally from Porbandar, Gujarat, I am currently based in Pune. As a DevOps Engineer, I am passionate about automation, optimization and enhancing system reliability. Outside of work, I enjoy swimming 🏊🏻, hitting the gym 🏋🏻, playing the guitar 🎸, and diving into self-help and mythology books 📚.
