Starting to give back to the community.
I'm Ashish Disawal, a DevOps Trainer and Consultant with over 17 years of experience building and optimizing infrastructure across Healthcare, Digital Media, IT, and Analytics industries. I help organizations worldwide transform their development and deployment practices through automation, security, and cloud-native technologies. Currently working as a freelance consultant, I specialize in designing secure, scalable infrastructure solutions using Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Python, and Infrastructure as Code tools. My recent projects include implementing multi-tenant ML processing infrastructures, automating incident management workflows between ServiceNow and PagerDuty, and migrating Python-based SaaS applications to Kubernetes on AWS EKS. Throughout my career, I've led high-performing teams and achieved significant results—from reducing Azure infrastructure costs by over 50% to building 20-member support teams from scratch. I'm particularly passionate about Slack administration and SaaS integrations, having developed custom workflows, bots, and apps that streamline team collaboration. I hold multiple certifications including AWS Certified Developer - Associate, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist, and ITIL Foundation. I've played pivotal roles in achieving and maintaining SOC2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 compliance for organizations, implementing comprehensive security stacks and CI/CD pipelines with integrated security scanning. Beyond consulting, I'm committed to knowledge sharing through my technical blog at PraHari.net, where I write about FastAPI, Kubernetes, AWS, and DevOps best practices. I believe in fostering collaborative environments, mentoring aspiring DevOps professionals, and aligning technical solutions with business objectives to deliver exceptional results.

Code with Disloyal
My brain, pre-Arduino: "Right, just a simple LED blink. Probably a solid 10 lines of pure, unadulterated code, maybe a ritual sacrifice to the compiler gods." Arduino Uno, post-power-up: holds tiny, invisible beer mug aloft "Hold my entire Linux kernel, peasant." I swear, I nearly short-circuited myself when I realized this thing isn't just a board; it's practically a sentient, silicon-based pocket supercomputer! Suddenly, a PHP syntax error feels like a warm, comforting hug compared to the existential dread of debugging something I can physically touch and potentially smoke. Navigating from the cushy, predictable world of web environments to these wild, hybrid boards is less a transition and more like attempting to teach a cat advanced quantum physics. So, to all the brave souls pioneering this path: thanks for taking the hits so the rest of us don't have to accidentally turn our homes into giant, blinking fire hazards.
