ABOUT ASHISH U.
Hey, I’m Ashish. I’m a Newcastle-based Cloud Solutions Engineer, DevOps Architect, and the Founder of Avarana. I’m as obsessed with architecting unbreakable cloud workflows as I am with unraveling the secrets of the universe on a late-night podcast binge.My work philosophy? Tech isn’t magic, it’s craft. And the most powerful tools in engineering are mindset, empathy, and relentless iteration.Before building the control plane for enterprise AI at Avarana, I led cloud transformations at the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, SOFTEL Communications, and Morningstar Inc. I’ve scaled systems for massive public sector impact, automated customer engagement platforms, and wrangled multi-cloud environments to slash costs and boost reliability.The numbers: 40%+ cost savings, 50% production time reduction, 89% fewer security incidents, and dozens of engineering teams enabled to sleep soundly.I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from Newcastle University, but what drives me is less about degrees and more about solving painful, expensive, real-world problems. Expect straight talk from me: I share my biggest faceplants alongside my wins, because “fail, learn, automate, repeat” is how progress happens in cloud, DevOps, and frankly, life.My passions?• Connecting people, automation, and processes to solve gnarly infrastructure problems.• Demystifying cloud, Kubernetes, and AI, making them secure, practical, and honestly, a bit fun.• Championing continuous improvement, diversity in tech, and building resilient communities.• Space, travel, sci-fi podcasts, and the occasional nerd-out on why we do what we do.Let’s swap stories: What are you building, breaking, automating, or fixing? I want to hear about it.
