01.about_me

Associate Software Engineer at Siemens Digital Industries Software, working in the HPC and cloud infrastructure domain. I sit at the intersection of platform engineering, infrastructure automation, and testing — writing Terraform modules, debugging Kubernetes pods, and tuning SLURM clusters.

Before the full-time role I spent 1.5 years as an intern at Altair Engineering (now Siemens), where I built multi-cloud deployment pipelines for NavOps across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, automated HPC cluster provisioning with Ansible, and validated end-to-end SLURM and PBS Pro integrations.

Earlier I was a Senior Cloud Support Engineer at Inspirisys Solutions, handling CloudFormation automation, cloud migrations with Azure Migrate and AWS MGN, and multi-region architectures for enterprise clients.

I hold AWS SAA and GCP ACE certifications, write about HPC and cloud on Medium and LinkedIn, and this site runs on Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB + S3 + CloudFront, provisioned with Terraform.
