About
I keep production hosting and cloud platforms quietly running, now AI-augmented.
Hi, I'm Gyanaranjan. I have seven years across Linux, hosting platforms (Plesk, cPanel, WordPress, Magento), cloud operations (AWS, DigitalOcean), monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix), and security operations (Wazuh, OpenVAS). I now consult for firms on integrating AI into their platforms, building AI-powered SOC products and seamless automation that reduce engineers' manual effort on recurring work. My daily workflow runs on Claude, Codex, and AI coding agents for RCA drafts, automation scripts, config review, runbooks, and faster incident triage. Production judgment is still human; the velocity is multiplied.
- Daily AI workflow: Claude, Codex, and AI agents for ops automation and RCAs
- Production-first judgment with customer-impact awareness
- Comfortable across hosting, cloud, monitoring, and security stacks
