About Me

My name is Surendar, and I’ve recently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering. Throughout my academic journey, I gained hands-on experience with DevOps tools and practices, and I’ve built a strong foundation in full-stack development, particularly using the MERN stack.

I’ve developed multiple DevOps-focused projects that demonstrate my ability to design and manage modern CI/CD workflows and cloud-native deployments. One of my key projects was a real-time DevOps Dashboard integrating GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform to provide visibility into CI/CD pipelines. I built and deployed a containerized MERN application using Docker and Kubernetes, implementing a complete CI/CD pipeline from scratch. Beyond this, I’ve worked on several automation and infrastructure-related projects involving container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and monitoring, which are available on my GitHub. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of DevOps principles such as scalability, reliability, and continuous delivery.

For the past 1 year, I’ve been working as an intern at HCL Technologies, where I’ve gained real-world experience in deploying applications in cloud-native environments using a three-tier architecture. This role has enhanced my skills in version control, automation, and collaborative development. In addition, I’m currently contributing to the Ancra Project at HCL as a QA Automation Engineer, which has further strengthened my expertise in Automation testing methodologies, quality assurance, and cross-functional teamwork.

I’m passionate about automating development workflows, and continuously expanding my knowledge of emerging technologies (DevOps). I’m now seeking an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organization where I can contribute my skills and grow as a DevOps engineer & Developer.
