About Me 👋

Hi, I'm Sachin! 👋 I'm a Software Engineer with a strong focus on DevOps and cloud engineering. I specialise in optimising cloud infrastructure, automating deployments, and building scalable systems using tools like AWS, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and Kubernetes. 💻⚙️ At HBSUK, I played a key role in automating patient onboarding workflows and enhancing API integrations using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, PL/SQL, and shell scripting. My work led to an 80% improvement in response times and more efficient cloud deployments. 🏥📈 Previously, I've delivered cloud-based and backend solutions at TYDIUP, Light & Wonder, CGI, and Sabermine — from building secure APIs and CI/CD pipelines to improving system performance and integrating real-time data features. 🚀 My technical stack includes PostgreSQL, SQL Server, GitLab CI, Swagger, and Firebase, and I thrive in Agile environments using tools like Jira and Git to deliver robust, production-ready systems. When I’m not coding, I support Manchester United ⚽🔴, Chennai Super Kings 🏏, and Team India 🇮🇳. I also train in boxing and enjoy watching the UFC. 🥊 Let’s connect and create innovative solutions — reach out anytime! 📬
