Harshal Dhangar

I am a passionate DevOps Engineer with over 3 years of hands-on experience in building, automating, and optimizing cloud-based infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. My professional journey has focused on improving development workflows, enhancing system reliability, and enabling faster and more efficient software delivery through modern DevOps practices. 

Currently based in Pune, I work with cloud and automation technologies to support scalable and highly available systems. My experience includes working extensively with AWS cloud services such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, Route 53, CloudWatch, CloudFront, and SNS, where I design and manage infrastructure while ensuring security, monitoring, and cost optimization. 

I have strong expertise in CI/CD pipeline implementation using Jenkins, enabling automated build, test, and deployment workflows that accelerate development cycles and reduce manual effort. My work also involves containerization with Docker, infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, and configuration management with Ansible, allowing teams to maintain consistent environments across development, testing, and production. 

My technical background also includes working with Linux systems, shell scripting, Git-based version control, and build tools like Maven, helping automate routine operational tasks and streamline development processes. I have experience managing infrastructure components such as load balancers, autoscaling groups, and networking configurations within AWS, ensuring high availability and performance of applications.

In my current role, I contribute to projects in the telecom domain, where I support application environments, manage infrastructure resources, monitor systems using CloudWatch, and maintain secure access through IAM policies. I also work closely with development, QA, and performance teams to troubleshoot issues and ensure stable deployments across environments.

Beyond technical skills, I value collaboration, continuous learning, and problem solving. Working in Agile environments has helped me develop strong communication and teamwork abilities while adapting quickly to evolving project requirements. I enjoy exploring new technologies and improving system efficiency through automation and best DevOps practices.

My goal is to continue growing as a DevOps professional by designing scalable cloud architectures, optimizing CI/CD processes, and contributing to high-performance engineering teams that build reliable and innovative technology solutions.
