Summary

I am a software professional on a mission to enhance developer experience
by reducing their cognitive load and improve operations efficiency.

By providing centralised platform and Shift lefted CICD Pipeline Setups in a
highly abstracted fashion, we can achieve higher productivity among
developer, testing and infra associates, so this is my current point of effort.

To that end, I’ve contributed in creating an Infra and pipeline for both K8S
and Mobile[Android/Ios] Applications to give developers a first-hand
experience of what it would be like to have just one-liner imports that spins
the entire CICD pipeline and lesser efforts for infra spawning
