Apurva Chandra

DevOps and QA Automation Engineer with 6+ years of experience working across software testing, automation, and cloud infrastructure. Over the past few years, I have gradually transitioned from QA engineering into DevOps, focusing on CI/CD automation, infrastructure-as-code, and containerized deployments. I enjoy building reliable deployment pipelines, improving release speed, and helping teams ship software faster and more safely.
