Hi, I'm Sekhar Khanal, a DevOps, Site reliability, and Platform Engineer with 5+ years of experience. I thrive on automating software delivery and cloud infrastructure. My expertise lies in CI/CD, automation, and monitoring.
About me
I’m a passionate DevOps Engineer with expertise in bridging the gap between development and operations to deliver reliable, scalable, and efficient software systems. With a solid foundation in tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and Terraform, I specialize in automating workflows, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and maintaining cloud infrastructure.
Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure, building Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions, managing containerized applications, and driving adoption of DevOps best practices across teams. My hands-on experience spans monitoring and observability, performance optimization, and ensuring high system availability with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog.
I enjoy working on challenges that involve integrating modern technologies into legacy systems, simplifying complex workflows, and fostering collaboration between teams to achieve seamless software delivery.
Beyond the tech world, I love creating video content on platforms like YouTube, exploring topics like DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, and sharing insights to help others grow in this ever-evolving field.
