About

Hello 👋🏻, I am Mayank Khanna.

I'm a Senior Site Reliability Engineer by title, but I like to think of myself as a digital architect and professional automator. My mission is to build the robust cloud infrastructure that great software relies on, and I get a real kick out of making systems run so smoothly, you forget they're even there.

My playground is the cloud (mostly AWS and GCP), where I speak fluent Terraform to turn coffee into production-ready infrastructure.

I enjoy modernizing CI/CD workflows, whether that means taming a legacy Jenkins pipeline or building a slick new one with CircleCI. Day-to-day, you'll find me scripting away tedious tasks with Python and Bash, because who has time for manual clicks?

With roots in full-stack and even voice app development, I bring a broad perspective to every challenge, always aiming to create solutions that are not just stable and cost-effective, but also a joy for other developers to use.
