INTRODUCING MYSELF

Hi, I'm Arka — a Platform & Systems Engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, passionate about solving real-world problems through code.

From building robust cloud-native services to pushing limits in competitive programming, I craft resilient software with purpose. Whether it's scaling Kubernetes clusters, contributing to open source, or optimizing microservices with Istio and Prometheus — I live for technical challenges that drive real impact.

My expertise spans across DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, and Systems Programming with hands-on experience in Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and Prometheus

I'm proficient in C++, Python, JavaScript, and Go and love tackling algorithmic challenges on platforms like Codeforces and LeetCode.
