Arjun B Nair

I'm a Software Engineer based in Kerala, India. I'm experienced in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Automation, CI/CD , RDBMS, Python scripting, Linux, etc.

When I was a child, I was inspired how a computer worked. I was always curious about how the Internet worked and what all happened in the background of a click. What they had inside Micro processor chips as tiny as a coin. It led me to the field of Computer Science. During my school days I was fascinated how operating systems and software/Web sites worked and I arrived at a conclusion that programming with your own logic is pure art!

I started falling in love with Front-End development and after graduating from my college I started Job hunting for Developer roles in the industry. However, as a turning point, I didn't end the way I expected. I was propagating in a direction of Cloud architecture, servers, release and deployment, monitoring, etc.

At first I was depressed. Later I found happiness in the things that I have and I started thinking about how I could improvise the skills that I am having with the direction where I am going. That opened up a door of great opportunities. DevOps!

What if you could do Cloud engineering, server-side, release management along with the possibility of coding at the same time. With that in mind, I became fond of using different technologies in a combined fashion. Automating releases, automating infrastructures and automating little stuffs with the programming skills and logic that I have.

I wanted to create a skill set of my own where I could learn interesting technologies and use them together. Like Running Terraform within a Docker container and running the container within a GitLab CI/CD pipeline. I get the pleasure of building things using good logic, automating them and seeing it work in an expected way. That's inspiring.
