Hello! I'm Sachindu Malshan
I'm a tech professional transforming my career from embedded systems into cloud-native and DevOps engineering. With a strong, growth-oriented mindset I focus on continuous learning and pragmatic problem solving to design scalable, automated infrastructure that connects hardware realities with cloud-native operations.
I’m actively building practical skills in CI/CD, containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform to create reliable, repeatable delivery pipelines. My goal is to simplify complex workflows and accelerate teams by applying automation, observability, and clear operational practices.
