About Me

Professional Background

🔧 DevOps Engineer | Cloud Engineer | Linux System Administrator

I'm Rohit Pawar, a DevOps and Cloud-focused engineer with a strong foundation in Linux system administration and production support. I hold dual Red Hat certifications (RHCSA & RHCE) and have hands-on experience working with AWS infrastructure, automation tools, and containerized environments.

Currently working as a Technical Support Engineer at Global IT Providers, providing L1/L2 operational support for production Linux servers and AWS cloud infrastructure. I have practical exposure to supporting Linux servers, AWS services (EC2, IAM, VPC, S3, CloudWatch), Docker containers, and CI/CD fundamentals.

I enjoy automating manual tasks, improving system reliability, and supporting scalable cloud environments. I'm actively seeking opportunities as DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Linux/System Administrator, or Site Reliability Engineer.
