About Pushpam
I am a DevOps Architect with deep expertise in Kubernetes and OpenShift production environments, helping enterprises modernize and scale their application platforms.
I specialize in CI/CD automation with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and GitLab, as well as containerization strategies using Docker and orchestration frameworks.
I have 10 years of DevOps experience and a total of 20 years of experience.
With a strong focus on security, availability, and resiliency, I design solutions that ensure seamless connectivity, safeguard sensitive data, and support disaster recovery.
My goal is to enable organisations to deliver software faster, safer, and more reliably. I like to go out of my comfort zone and take up new challenges.
