§ About · Senior DevOps Engineer · New Delhi, India
Shivam
Anand.
Infrastructure engineer obsessed with resilience, performance, and cost-efficiency. I've been breaking and fixing production systems since I was 17 — mostly on purpose, occasionally not.
I don't manage servers. I build systems that manage themselves — and wake me up only when something genuinely unexpected happens.
§ Technical expertise
7 domains.
Deep stack.
From bare-metal hypervisors to FreeSWITCH media servers — I work across the full infrastructure stack, not just the DevOps layer.
