🎯 What I'm Up To

🔭	Currently working on: Next-generation cloud deployment automation at PipeOpsHQ—building tools that make infrastructure invisible so developers can focus on what matters
🌱	Currently learning: Advanced Kubernetes operators, service mesh architectures (Istio/Linkerd), cloud-native security patterns, and eBPF for observability
👯	Looking to collaborate on: Open source DevOps tools, cloud infrastructure projects, and anything that makes developers' lives easier
💬	Ask me about: Cloud architecture, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, or how to make your deployments faster and more reliable
⚡	Fun fact: I am Groot 🌳 (I automate everything—even my morning coffee routine could be a Kubernetes CronJob)
