About Me

🇮🇳 India
🇳🇿 New Zealand
🇦🇺 Australia

Hey! I'm Rajiv, a Senior Software Engineer based in Australia, originally from Hyderabad, India, with a great chapter lived in Wellington, New Zealand along the way. I've spent 9+ years building APIs, microservices, and enterprise-grade .NET systems, with C# as my language of choice across both .NET Framework and .NET Core. I'm deeply at home in Azure and AWS, and I genuinely enjoy the craft of writing clean, maintainable code and automating everything I can with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Lately, I've been diving into Generative AI and it's a space I find endlessly exciting. I'm 8x certified across Azure, AWS, DevOps, and AI, and I love sharing what I learn, whether that's mentoring engineers, pair programming, or writing about the things I build and explore.
