Who I Am

I'm a final-year MCA student at Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha (MGU), graduating mid-2026 — and actively hunting for my first professional Cloud/DevOps role.

I passed AWS Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) in roughly 3 weeks, self-studying with no mentor, no paid courses — just documentation, first-principles thinking, and a lot of deliberate practice.

My flagship project, DevRPG, is a 5-tier cloud-native platform deployed on Amazon EKS. It's not a tutorial follow-along — every failure got debugged and documented. CrashLoopBackOff at 2AM. EBS CSI driver misconfigurations. OOMKill events. Real infrastructure, real problems.

Long-term trajectory: Cloud Security Engineering. Building the fundamentals now.

What I've Shipped

DevRPG
★ 5

A 5-tier decoupled cloud-native platform deployed on Amazon EKS. Nginx → Gunicorn/Django → PostgreSQL (EBS) → Redis → Celery. Includes a fine-tuned DistilBERT model (98.1% accuracy, trained on 1,080 synthetic samples) with Google Gemini 1.5 Flash API failover for skill evaluation. Not a tutorial — a real deployment with real failures documented.
