SHIVAM
SANCC.

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.

Philosophy
I don't manage servers. I build systems that manage themselves — and wake me up only when something genuinely unexpected happens.
