Background

About Jay Borad

About Me I’m a passionate DevOps enthusiast with a strong foundation in embedded software development, electrical and mechanical engineering. With a multidisciplinary background and hands-on experience in both hardware and software systems, I bring a unique edge to DevOps—combining low-level programming, system design, and modern cloud-native development practices. My journey began with a focus on Embedded C/C++, microcontroller programming (STM32), and hardware-software integration, which I later expanded into full-scale DevOps engineering—driven by my love for automation, scalability, and continuous improvement. Bachelor Thesis: Focused on safety communication protocols based on IEC 61784-3, where I implemented reliable and deterministic data communication for industrial systems. This gave me deep insights into mission-critical systems, fault tolerance, and real-time data handling. Currently Transitioning into DevOps: Completed a comprehensive DevOps apprenticeship under Train With Subham, covering practical, project-based learning across the entire DevOps DevOps & Cloud Skill Tools: Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD ->Version Control: Git, GitHub ->Containerization: Docker, Docker Compose ->Orchestration: Kubernetes (from scratch to advanced)->Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Ansible ->Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana ->Cloud Platforms: AWS (Zero to Hero), Microsoft Azure ->Scripting & Automation: Bash, Shell scripting ->Networking: Fundamentals + DevOps networking concepts Embedded Systems & C, C++, Embedded C ->Microcontrollers: STM32, Arduino ->Protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN ->Safety Standards: IEC 61784-3 (Industrial Safety Communication)->Debugging Tools: Logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG Core the gap between embedded systems and cloud-native DevOps ->Building robust, scalable CI/CD pipelines ->Automating infrastructure and application deployment ->Applying safety-critical communication knowledge to system reliability ->Collaborating in cross-functional, multidisciplinary engineering teams Let’s If you’re looking for a driven DevOps engineer with a solid grounding in embedded systems, automation, and cloud infrastructure—I’d love to connect. jayborad3@gmail.com
