Hey there! I'm an SRE, not your average suit-and-tie techie.  Based in Seattle, I've spent 17+ years navigating the intricate world of BFSI tech. Think of me as a problem-solving ninja, wielding my expertise in production support, AWS, and cloud computing to tame even the most complex technical beasts. ⚔️

I'm not just all code and algorithms, though. I believe in leading by doing, collaborating seamlessly, and building strong relationships across the board.  Whether it's crafting innovative solutions or strategizing for efficiency, I'm passionate about making things tick and helping others do the same.

**So, why am I here?** Well, I love sharing my knowledge and experiences, and I hope this blog becomes a space for open discussions, valuable insights, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.  Stay tuned for tech talk, industry insights, and a peek into the life of an SRE who doesn't take himself too seriously.

Sustainable operations are essential for the long-term success of any organization. One important aspect of sustainable operations is the segregation of applications and infrastructure, with clear demarcations between the two. This helps operations teams to focus on the infrastructure, the "muscle" that powers the application.

One key tool that can help with sustainable operations is infrastructure as code. This allows operations teams to easily replicate environments multiple times, ensuring that all environments are up to par with the requirements of the engineering team.

To sustain this level of excellence, there are a few key things to keep in mind:

### Vigilance:
Never take anything for granted. Pay attention to the details and be on the lookout for potential issues.

### Read the documents: 
Make sure to read the documents released for every sprint. This will help you stay up to date with the latest changes and ensure that you are aware of any potential issues.

### Collaborate: 
Even if the recipient is not listening, make an effort to flag any potential problems and document them. This will help ensure that any issues are addressed before they become bigger problems.

### Do it right the first time:
Insist on doing things correctly the first time around. This will save time and resources in the long run.

### Be a customer advocate: 
Keep things simple for the customer by addressing their needs. This will help ensure that they are satisfied with the product or service they are receiving.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your operations are sustainable and effective.
