Hi, I'm Anjali 👋

Software Engineer • Infrastructure • Platforms • Automation

I like building things, understanding how they work under the hood, and making systems simpler, faster, and more reliable.

I'm a software engineer who loves engineering problems, especially the ones sitting somewhere between code, infrastructure and systems.

I enjoy automating repetitive work, building infrastructure, working with platforms, debugging weird problems and understanding why something behaves the way it does.

Lately, I've also been exploring the intersection of distributed systems, infrastructure and AI.

⚙️ What I Work With

💻 Software & Scripting

Python Go Bash JavaScript

Writing automation, tooling, APIs and software that interacts with infrastructure.

🏗️ Infrastructure as Code

Terraform Ansible Packer

Provisioning infrastructure, automating environments and treating infrastructure like software.

☁️ Cloud & Platforms

AWS Azure OCI

Working with cloud infrastructure, compute, containers and platform services.

📦 Containers

Docker Kubernetes OpenShift

Building and operating containerized workloads and cloud-native platforms.

🚀 CI/CD

GitHub Actions Jenkins Tekton Harness

Automating build, validation, security and deployment workflows.

🔐 DevSecOps

Trivy BlackDuck Aqua Veracode

Integrating security and vulnerability checks into engineering workflows.

📊 Observability

Dynatrace Splunk Logging Monitoring

Understanding what's happening inside systems when things don't behave as expected.

🐧 Systems

Linux REST APIs Kafka Git

The pieces underneath applications that make everything actually work.

I particularly enjoy engineering where software meets infrastructure — building tools and automation that make systems easier to operate, understand and scale.

🔭 Currently Curious About

Distributed Systems      → How systems coordinate at scale
Infrastructure at Scale  → How platforms grow without becoming chaos
AI Infrastructure        → What it takes to run AI systems reliably
Agentic Systems          → Software that can reason and take actions
Automation               → Removing repetitive engineering work
Systems Engineering      → Understanding what happens underneath
Reliability              → Designing systems that don't fall over
Developer Tooling        → Making engineers' lives easier

And occasionally...

"Okay, but what is ACTUALLY happening under the hood?"

...which usually leads to another rabbit hole.

I'm less interested in collecting technologies and more interested in understanding why systems behave the way they do.

There's always another layer underneath.
