// about me

Who I Am

Background and what I bring to the table.

I'm a software engineer based in Pune, India — an immediate joiner open to relocation. I hold an MCA from Manipal Institute of Technology and recently completed a PG-DAC (Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Computing) at Sunbeam Institute, Pune.

During my internship at Nokia Solutions & Networks, I worked in a CI/CD environment — building Jenkins pipelines, automating OpenStack provisioning, and managing Docker and Kubernetes deployments in production.

I enjoy the full stack: designing clean REST APIs with Spring Boot, setting up observability with Prometheus & Grafana, writing Selenium test suites, and deploying on Kubernetes. I like software that is not just functional — but reliable and measurable.

Career Break · Jul 2023 – Jul 2025
Took intentional time away from work for family caregiving responsibilities. Stayed technically active throughout — completed the PG-DAC programme and independently built DineOps, a production-grade platform covering backend, DevOps, observability, and QA end-to-end.

Built a Jenkins pre-merge pipeline with SonarQube integration — auto-generated Excel quality reports via the SonarQube API, reducing manual code-review overhead for the team.
Automated OpenStack slave provisioning using Python and shell scripts, cutting environment setup time for build jobs.
Monitored Jenkins build jobs, debugged pipeline failures, and documented root-cause patterns to speed up future resolution.
Worked with GitLab, Gerrit, Docker, and Kubernetes in a production CI/CD environment.
