I'm Abhishek Sonwal, a Senior DevOps Engineer with 5+ years helping companies automate AWS infrastructure, ship faster with CI/CD, and run Kubernetes in production with confidence.
Abhishek Sonwal is a Senior DevOps Engineer with a Master's in Computer Applications and more than five years helping teams release software safely, keep systems online, and reduce operational toil.
My work centers on infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, and observability that people actually use. When environments are repeatable and deployments are boring, engineering teams can focus on what matters: building products customers love.
From multi-region Kubernetes on AWS to DevSecOps gates in CI/CD, I design systems that match business goals: speed, resilience, and security without trade-offs.
