01. About Me

I am an AWS Certified Cloud Engineer with 2.0 years of experience supporting enterprise infrastructure at Tata Consultancy Services. I specialize in managing AWS ecosystems (EC2, S3, RDS), automating operational workflows with Python, and building robust CI/CD pipelines.

My focus has recently shifted to Generative AI. I developed a solution using AWS Bedrock that reduced manual work by 25%, winning the TCS AI Challenge. I am passionate about minimizing "toil" through intelligent automation.
