Computer Science student at BITS Pilani. Operations leader turned aspiring infrastructure engineer. Passionate about reliability, automation, and the systems that keep everything running.
I'm Hiten — a Computer Science student at BITS Pilani with a genuine interest in how systems work at scale. My path into engineering didn't start in a classroom; it started in high-responsibility operational environments where I had to think clearly under pressure and coordinate moving parts in real time.
Working in the surveillance industry, I led a team handling remote monitoring operations, intercom surveillance systems, and incident escalation across multiple client sites. Managing uptime expectations, coordinating responses in real time, and communicating with stakeholders under pressure gave me an operational intuition that most CS students don't get from textbooks alone.
That experience reshaped how I think about infrastructure. Reliability isn't a feature — it's a discipline. When systems fail, people notice immediately. That reality made me deeply curious about the engineering that prevents failure: monitoring, automation, redundancy, and well-designed processes.
I'm now actively building toward DevOps and cloud infrastructure engineering — learning Linux internals, containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud fundamentals while finishing my degree. I care about building things that are boring in the best way: reliable, observable, and maintainable.
Mission-critical monitoring, incident response, and team coordination — the kind of operational experience that builds genuine systems intuition.
Leading teams in mission-critical remote surveillance operations since 2018 — over 7 years of managing real-time monitoring systems, intercom networks, and incident response workflows across multiple distributed client sites. Operated in environments where accuracy and uptime were non-negotiable, and where operational failures had immediate, visible consequences.
Pursuing a Bachelor's in Computer Science while simultaneously building hands-on experience in DevOps tooling, systems administration, and infrastructure concepts through self-directed learning and personal projects.
A growing collection of work focused on systems, automation, and infrastructure — from conceptual explorations to deployed tools.
A multi-sport buddy-finding platform designed for college students and young working adults. Connects players by sport, location, and availability — and surfaces nearby venues like turfs, courts, and box cricket facilities. Built around the real problem of adults struggling to find casual games.
MVP targets dual audiences simultaneously: college students and working adults aged 22–32. Core infrastructure includes real-time matching, geolocation APIs, and venue discovery with profile-based sport preferences.
An analytical project exploring cognitive tracking through data visualization and structured systems thinking. Maps cognitive states against time, environment, and decision quality — a human-centered systems design exercise grounded in epistemic clarity.
The deployment architecture powering this site — from DNS configuration and hosting setup to GitHub Actions CI/CD and performance optimization. Documented as an infrastructure case study with a reproducible architecture diagram.
A self-hosted system monitoring dashboard for Linux servers. Aggregates CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics with alerting thresholds — built to explore observability tooling from the ground up.
A documented series of containerization experiments — from simple Dockerfiles to multi-container compose setups and basic orchestration. Designed as a learning-in-public infrastructure journal.
Studying core computer science foundations while pursuing a parallel track of self-directed infrastructure and systems learning. The program provides theoretical grounding in algorithms, operating systems, and networking — which I actively connect to practical DevOps tooling and real-world operational patterns.
Alongside formal coursework, building a structured learning roadmap toward DevOps and cloud engineering. Working through CompTIA Linux+, Docker fundamentals, AWS Cloud Practitioner, and networking concepts — with a focus on building things, not just consuming content.
