I'm an automation-focused DevOps Engineer who builds CI/CD pipelines, containerizes microservices, and hardens infrastructure security. Self-taught through Harvard CS50, KodeKloud's DevOps Engineer track, and hands-on AWS/Kubernetes labs.

At CodeAlpha I engineered GitHub Actions pipelines that cut manual deployment steps by 40%, containerized three microservices, and eliminated 12 critical CVEs through Trivy scanning and Alpine-based minimal images. I ship production-style projects end-to-end and measure everything.

Currently deepening Terraform, Prometheus, and advanced Kubernetes while looking for a team that values automation-first, security-conscious engineering.

Where I've Worked

June 2026 – Present

DevOps Intern

CodeAlpha
  • Engineered a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that cut manual deployment steps by 40% and reduced deployment time from 25 to 15 minutes.
  • Containerized 3 microservices with Docker & Docker Compose, eliminating environment inconsistencies across dev and staging.
  • Hardened container security (non-root users, Alpine images), reducing average image size by ~35% and eliminating 12 critical CVEs via Trivy scans.
  • Designed and shipped 2 internal RESTful APIs (Flask, Node.js) that replaced manual logging and user-management workflows for a 5-person team.
July – August 2026

Python Programming Intern

DecodeLabs (Virtual Internship)
  • Completed a structured remote internship focused on real-world Python tasks and collaborative project delivery under tight deadlines.
  • Applied problem-solving, scripting, and version-control practices that later strengthened DevOps automation work.

Things I've Built

Production-style projects focused on automation, security, and measurable outcomes.

URL Shortener Service

Production-ready URL shortening service with unique 7-character codes, automatic redirection, and click-tracking analytics (total clicks, unique visitors, referrers). Optimized to respond under 200ms at 50 concurrent requests.

Python Flask MongoDB Docker

User CRUD API

Secure RESTful API with JWT authentication for full user lifecycle management. Centralized validation and error-handling middleware reduced unhandled crashes by ~40%. Cloud-hosted on MongoDB Atlas with connection pooling.
