About Prajwal Thaware
DevOps Engineer → SRE | Cloud Magician | Automation EnthusiastI turn coffee into code and chaos into order.Hey there! I\'m Prajwal, an SRE at PhonePe with a thing for making infrastructure scalable, reliable, and actually work. I\'ve wrangled on-prem clusters, automated deployments, and built systems that handle fintech scale before breakfast.What I do best:Database Whisperer: MySQL, MariaDB (Galera), Aerospike, Elasticsearch — on-prem, bare metal, no managed service safety net.Queue Tamer: RabbitMQ clusters that do not care about your feelings? Sorted.Automation Obsessive: If it can be scripted (Bash/Python/Ansible/SaltStack), I\'ve probably automated it including my coffee runs.Monitoring Guru: Grafana dashboards are my art gallery. Riemann alerts? I silence them before they scream.Recent wins:Built a Galera deployment automation platform that cut deployment time by 95% — 2-3 hours to 15 minutes,~30% failure rate to basically zero.Keeping PhonePe\'s on-prem infrastructure alive at fintech scale because someone has to.Why SRE?Because I thrive where reliability meets chaos where one config change can take down a system (ask me about that one time). I\'m all about scaling smarter, failing faster, and fixing things before users notice.Let\'s connect if you:Speak Terraform, Python, or dad jokes.Need someone to geek out over distributed databases or on-prem infra.Want to rant about YAML, Galera split-brain, or CI/CD pipelines at 2am.Currently:Learning Go (because why not).Open to collabs, mentors, or memes about prod incidents.P.S. My GitHub is 50% code, 50%\"why did this work?\" commits.
