Hi, I'm Atul! I am a software engineer with a strong focus on DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, and automation. I spend my time building scalable CI/CD pipelines, mastering tools like Docker, Terraform, and AWS, and breaking down complex cloud concepts into accessible, hands-on tutorials. I believe the best way to learn is to build, break, and document the process.
