About Me

I am Kishore Kumar, a DevOps Engineer currently at Klenty. I bring a total of 5 years and 4 months of technical expertise to the table.

My journey includes 1 year and 9 months dedicated to Quality Engineering & Assurance (QEA) at Cognizant (Nov 2020 - Aug 2022), where I mastered the art of software quality and automated testing.

For the past 3 years and 7 months, I have been focused on DevOps, specializing in scaling infrastructure, optimizing delivery pipelines, and enhancing developer experience. This unique combination of quality and operations allows me to build systems that are as resilient as they are high-performing.

Professional by day and adventurous by nature, I call Chennai, Tamil Nadu my home. I am always staying ahead of the curve, as that is how my career continues to grow through constant learning.
