DevOps, Cloud, or Platform Engineering roles where I can own infrastructure end-to-end — CI/CD, containers, observability, and security built in from day one. Open to full-time roles, freelance engagements, and interesting collaborations.

I'm a DevOps Engineer who builds scalable, secure, automated cloud systems — and the Co-Founder of Air Dive, a Shivpuri tech agency helping MSMEs and startups modernize their infrastructure. My co-founders and I met while coordinating a college tech fest and turned that into a formally incorporated company, where I own DevOps and infrastructure end-to-end.

• ⚙️ Work across AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and DevSecOps tooling to improve delivery speed, reliability, and security posture across the full software lifecycle
• 📉 Reduced deployment time by 30% through CI/CD pipeline automation
• 📊 Cut manual monitoring effort by 40% using Bash scripting and CloudWatch dashboards
• 🔐 Implemented end-to-end security scanning with Gitleaks, Trivy, and tfsec
• 🧩 Built production-grade Go microservices with gRPC, Redis cache, and AI integration for a clinical platform
• 📢 Documenting the journey in public — a #100DaysOfDevOps series on LinkedIn

• Co-founded and helped formally incorporate Air Dive as a private limited company; own DevOps and infrastructure end-to-end
• Found and fixed a critical flaw where SMTP secrets were exposed client-side in the Vite/React build — redesigned the flow through a server-side Cloudflare Worker before it shipped
• Building out Kubernetes + GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with securely managed deployment secrets
• Configured DNS and email deliverability infrastructure (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI) and technical SEO (sitemap, robots.txt, search console indexing)
• Building a multi-tenant 3D/AR digital menu platform (Next.js/Node.js) for restaurant clients, architected to scale to 50+ restaurants without a rebuild

July 2025 – Dec 2025 Pune, India

• Deployed a student registration application using Docker containers on AWS EC2/S3 with canary rollout and rollback strategies, minimising deployment risk in production
• Automated daily cloud health checks using Bash scripts and CloudWatch dashboards, reducing manual monitoring effort by 40%
• Provisioned and configured AWS resources including EC2, S3, IAM roles, and VPC security groups with least-privilege access principles
• Authored runbooks, deployment SOPs, and incident response checklists, improving team response time and reducing knowledge silos

Go gRPC Protocol Buffers React TypeScript PostgreSQL MongoDB Redis Claude AI JWT

A production-grade, AI-powered hospital management platform built with 5 independent Go microservices communicating over gRPC. Features a Claude AI diagnostic engine for real-time symptom analysis, drug interaction checking, and risk scoring. Backed by PostgreSQL (patient records), MongoDB (appointments + analytics events), and Redis (15-minute cache-aside layer + pub/sub for real-time notifications via SSE). Secured by a JWT-authenticated API gateway with token-bucket rate limiting and reverse proxy routing. Paired with a dark-themed React/TypeScript clinical dashboard.

Architecture highlights:

• 5 bounded-context microservices — Patient · Appointment · AI Diagnostic · Notification · Analytics — structured as a single-module Go monorepo
• gRPC with .proto contracts for type-safe inter-service communication
• Polyglot persistence — PostgreSQL + MongoDB + Redis in a single platform
• Redis fail-open cache — outage degrades performance, never availability
• Agentic AI chat with emergency escalation detection powered by Claude
• Real-time SSE push notifications via Redis pub/sub channels

Engineering deep-dives: debugged monorepo-specific Dockerization and Go module path issues, resolved service startup-ordering and port conflicts, and evaluated release-please for automated versioning across the monorepo.

Go Gin React PostgreSQL Redis JWT Docker Docker Compose

A production-ready microservice starter kit for DevOps learners and backend engineers. Go (Gin) REST API with JWT authentication, Redis caching, and PostgreSQL — paired with a React frontend. Fully containerised with Docker Compose for one-command local setup, and wired with a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline including SonarCloud code-quality gates and GHCR image publishing.

Architecture highlights:

• Go Gin REST API with structured routing and middleware chain
• JWT auth with refresh token rotation
• Redis cache layer with TTL-based invalidation
• PostgreSQL with connection pooling and migration support
• Docker Compose multi-service orchestration with health checks
• React frontend with Axios interceptors and protected routes
• CI/CD pipeline: GitHub Actions → SonarCloud quality gate → GHCR image publish

Engineering deep-dives: debugged CI pipeline failures across the stack — ESLint TypeScript parser config, golangci-lint errcheck violations, SonarCloud project key mismatches, and GHCR push permissions.

I document the DevOps journey — infrastructure milestones and lessons learned — in a #100DaysOfDevOps series on LinkedIn, including deep-dives on AWS fundamentals (VPC, EC2, ALB, ASG, Bastion Hosts) and Terraform. Come say hi 👋
