Hello, I'm
Ashwani Pandey.
I build reliable, scalable systems through automation.
Specializing in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code. I bridge the gap between code and production with a focus on reliability and security.

Reliability
01.About Me
Hi! I'm Ashwani, a DevOps Engineer passionate about building reliable infrastructure and streamlining deployment pipelines. With a background in backend development, I understand both sides of the infrastructure challenge and love solving complex problems at scale.
I'm driven by the intersection of automation, reliability, andobservability. Whether it's orchestrating containers, managing infrastructure as code, or designing CI/CD workflows, I enjoy creating systems that empower teams to ship faster and with confidence.
When I'm not building infrastructure, you can find me exploring new DevOps practices, contributing to open source, or sharing knowledge with the community. Let's connect if you're interested in discussing anything related to cloud, containers, or infrastructure automation!

05.DevOps Philosophy
"DevOps is not a role, it's a mindset."
Infrastructure should be predictable, automated, observable, secure, scalable, and cost-efficient.
Predictable
Same result every time
Automated
Minimal manual intervention
Observable
Visibility into every layer
Secure
Defense in depth, secrets never exposed
Scalable
Horizontal growth without technical debt
Cost-Efficient
Pay for what you use, optimize waste
Core Philosophy: Shift-Left
Shift-left
Automate everything from code commit to production
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Reproducible, version-controlled deployments
Observability
Metrics → Logs → Traces → Actionable insights
Reliability
Redundancy, health checks, graceful degradation
Security
Defense in depth, secrets management, least privilege
Pipeline Principle
Let's build something together.
I'm currently looking for new opportunities and infrastructure challenges. Whether you have a question or just want to say hi, my inbox is always open!
