I'm Kshitij, a SWE working as a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer at Clover.
I am tech-savvy & passionate about developing good quality, maintainable, and innovative solutions in the least amount of time. I like to learn and play around with new technologies & widen my knowledge about existing ones. I have exposure to all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and technology-driven solutions in collaboration with teams. I have also worked on Agile Development and Test Driven Development. My career goal is to make a positive contribution to the IT-world no matter how small it is.
In my personal time, I love to play around with my gaming rig, host services on my home server and play around with networking devices like routers.
When I'm not in front of a terminal, I'm probably hiking, skiing or playing soccer.
