Hi there
Thanks for dropping by. I'm sure you're curious to know who am I and what I do. I'm Atul, a developer relations professional for about 4 years now. I'm currently working as a Principal Developer Advocate at Improving (formerly InfraCloud).
I'm also a CNCF Ambassador where I'm involved in a lot of community activities from organizing meetups to speaking at events, doing webinars and things that help individuals and organizations adopt cloud native technologies.

- organized meetups in Hyderabad as an organizer of Cloud Native Hyderabad community
- conducted live webinars on platform engineering, service mesh, etc.

I've worn different hats over my decade long career, here's a short snippet of it:
- Started out as a manual tester where I was responsiblef for testing web portals.
- Later moved to automation testing where I used a proprietory framework using C#.
- Later I also build websites using HTML, Javascript and Bootstrap.
- I have some exposure to business analytics and reporting as well - worked on a dashboarding project using Power BI along with Azure Data Factory.
- Was also involved in building and maintaining Android App using Xamarin framework. I've also developed and published apps on the Android Play Store.
I've been a content creator for a couple of decades now sharing my live experiences on my blog socialmaharaj.com, Instagram and Twitter. I understand how the digital marketing landscape works - from SEO to content tips and tricks. I eat and breath content and enjoy writing, shooting videos and I'm relatively active on social media as well.
I hold a degree in computer science (B.Tech) and business administration (PGDM) with a specialization in marketing.
