Hello,
My name is Avinash, and I am a Cyber Security Specialist & AI Automation Engineer.
I have over 4.8 years of experience in securing cloud environments, optimizing Azure security, and managing enterprise-scale migrations. I am skilled in risk assessment, compliance enforcement, automation, and building intelligent operational solutions.
I love fantasy. I love to read DC Comics books. I always dream about the powers and out of the world things that would help me make a situation easy. I'm also a huge fan of Rick and Morty and cartoons.
I believe in magic, power, aliens, parallel universe, god. What's the fun if you do not believe in them?
