About

I spent my degree on the layer underneath: Linux servers, networking, monitoring and delivery pipelines.

I just finished a B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I know AWS, Azure and Google Cloud at a fundamentals level, and I have practised troubleshooting, monitoring and root cause analysis. I am looking for an entry-level Cloud Engineer role where I can help keep infrastructure reliable.

Infrastructure monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana

Ubuntu on WSLPrometheusNode ExporterGrafana
  • Configured Prometheus and Node Exporter to collect Linux server metrics.
  • Built a Grafana dashboard for CPU, RAM, disk, network traffic and uptime.
  • Practised service management and basic troubleshooting with Linux commands.
how a metric travels
Node ExporterExposes CPU, RAM, disk and network numbers from the server.
PrometheusScrapes those numbers on a schedule and stores them over time.
GrafanaTurns the stored data into dashboard panels.

Press “Trace a metric” to follow one CPU reading through the stack.

CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and Docker

GitHub ActionsDockerPythonPytestGit
  • Developed a Python application with automated tests in Pytest.
  • Containerized the application with Docker.
  • Built a GitHub Actions workflow that runs the tests on every code change.
