01 · About me
A little bit about me
Cloud operations, DevOps support, and network engineering — with a passion for automation.
I'm an IT graduate (B.Tech, Information Technology) with hands-on experience across cloud operations, DevOps support, and network engineering. My work spans managing Azure Virtual Machines and Virtual Desktop environments, automating routine operations with Azure CLI and PowerShell, and configuring & troubleshooting enterprise networks.
I've supported critical government deployments and enterprise infrastructure — including the TamilNadu Legislative Assembly Elections network — collaborating with senior engineers during incidents and maintenance windows.
I'm eager to keep learning and take on new challenges in cloud and infrastructure engineering, with a focus on reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
