About Harsh Nitin

I am a passionate DevOps & Cloud enthusiast and currently working as an automation engineer at Cognizant. I have hands-on experience in designing scalable systems, building CI/CD pipelines, and automating deployments across diverse environments. My journey has been shaped by both professional roles and personal projects—ranging from AI-powered threat detection pipelines on AWS to building secure APIs and observability platforms with modern tools like FastAPI, Go, Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana. Also, many times when I don\'t get projects according to my needs, I develop them on my own, irrespective of the tech stack.Over time, I’ve gained expertise in:Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Terraform, AnsibleDevOps Tooling: Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, SonarQube, Trivy, OWASPMonitoring & Security: Prometheus, Grafana, Backend Development: Node.js, Express.js, Go, FastAPI, PythonTesting & Automation: Selenium, TestNG, RestAssuredWhat excites me most is solving complex challenges—whether it’s optimizing CI/CD pipelines, ensuring code quality and security, or automating cloud infrastructure for resilience and scale.Alongside my technical work, I actively document and share my learnings on Medium: medium.com/@harsht1326Writing helps me reflect on my growth while making knowledge accessible for others starting their journeys.I thrive in environments where continuous learning, collaboration, and impact-driven engineering take center stage. Always open to new opportunities and conversations around Cloud, DevOps, and cutting-edge software development.
