About Me

Hi, I'm Mani Paliwal, a Software Engineer at Ethara AI with expertise in DevOps and cloud computing. I graduated from UPES Dehradun with BTech (Hons.) in Computer Science, majoring in Cloud Computing and Virtualization Technology (CCVT) and minor in DevOps, with additional exploration in International Business. My passion lies in cloud infrastructure, automation, and ensuring high-availability systems.

Currently at Ethara AI, I manage and monitor AWS-based cloud environments ensuring 24x7 uptime in production. I design and deploy CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, integrate monitoring solutions like CloudWatch and Prometheus, and deploy microservices in Kubernetes clusters. I'm proficient in Python, Bash scripting, including backup strategies and performance tuning.
