Hey there, I'm
Harshal đź‘‹

I'm a Cloud and DevOps enthusiast, aspiring to become a Cloud Engineer. I have hands-on experience in automating infrastructure with Terraform, deploying applications on AWS and GCP, and building reliable CI/CD pipelines using GitLab and Kubernetes.

Excited to collaborate and turn ideas into scalable solutions! 🚀

What I Do

I design and implement Cloud and DevOps solutions that bridge the gap between development and operations — focusing on automation, scalability, and making software delivery faster and more reliable

CI/CD Pipelines

GitLab CI/CD, Automated build, test, and deployment workflows using Jenkins, GitHub Actions.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform for provisioning and managing cloud resources.

Containerization

Docker and Kubernetes for container orchestration and microservices architecture.

Cloud Platform

Hands-on experience with AWS and GCP services like EC2, S3, IAM, Cloud Run, and GKE for scalable deployments.

Monitoring & Logging

Using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and AWS CloudWatch to monitor system performance and troubleshoot issues effectively.

About Me
