SRE @ JIFFY.ai · UG Lead, AWS Users Group Trivandrum. I care about reliability, automation, and building systems that hold up at 3 am — curious, building, and learning out loud.

I turn brittle deploys into reliable, observable systems and keep production

prototype pipelines, and grow the
AWS community in Trivandrum.
