“Hello there!”

My name is Vikas and I'm an IT professional. My life revolves around my family & my friends and is dominated by computers.

I am an experienced DevOps Engineer, I've been automating cloud infrastructure for more than a decade now and absolutely love it. I love to automate anything and everything which comes my way. Before juggling cloud resources, I was a Unix Administrator which helped me to dig into various opensource softwares to make my life easy. Other than Cloud and Unix, I have also exposed myself to VMWare ESXi and a little bit to Windows System Administration.

I just love fixing issues (this might sound strange to few). In college days, I never thought that one day I would enjoy my nerdy life more than anything else.

In my leisure time, I love to read technical blogs, visit forums, try out different opensource softwares, play squash, and sleep :) .

Just another student !

I just loved Mathematics and Computer Science, other than these subjects I was just an average student.

Sports is worth mentioning here, I was pretty active in this arena, had represented my school in games like Volleyball and Football.

Life after college

Since beginning of my professional life (even college life too), I have been involved in system administration of Unix and few Windows servers. Within few days, I had fallen for the black screen and Unix prompt. I guess, the tendency to try out difficult things and troubleshooting systems pushed me towards Unix.

I have worked at various levels in nearly every aspect of Unix system administration, from starting out as a trainee to level three support and a team lead as well.

In 2013, I got introduced to the world of cloud and container technologies and fell in love with the ease of managing infrastructure through code. I am a proud and seasoned Cloud and Docker/Kubernetes engineer.
