About

Hi, I’m Nitin Yadav — a DevOps and Backend Engineer focused on designing scalable, secure, and cloud-native infrastructures. Currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science at Parul Institute of Technology, I have hands-on experience managing self-hosted Kubernetes clusters, deploying distributed storage with Rook, and automating workflows using GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD. I specialize in backend systems built with Node.js, Express, and NestJS, and have deployed cloud-integrated solutions leveraging AWS and GCP. My work includes implementing GitOps with ArgoCD, managing Elasticsearch clusters, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines for reliability and speed. With a strong foundation in both backend engineering and DevOps, I strive to bridge the gap between development and operations through automation, scalability, and continuous improvement.
