About Me

Hi, I’m Ravi Goyal, a Cloud Engineer passionate about building reliable, scalable, and secure cloud systems. My journey began with a curiosity about how infrastructure powers modern apps, leading me to master Linux, networking, and SQL before focusing on AWS solutions.

I believe technology should work quietly and efficiently. Whether I'm configuring secure networks, automating infrastructure, or optimizing costs, I approach every challenge with precision and a "production-first" mindset.

Beyond the cloud, I’m a problem solver at heart. I view every project as an opportunity to not just build a solution, but to engineer it thoughtfully.
