Hi, my name is
Kelvin Fernandes
Bridging hardware reliability with back-end precision
Computer Science student with hands-on IT support experience, now channeling my troubleshooting mindset into DevOps — building automated, reliable infrastructure that just works.
About
Where hardware meets automation
Computer Science student at FACAPE with a solid background in IT fundamentals, including hardware and technical support. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of system stability and the critical importance of troubleshooting in high-pressure environments.
Currently, I am pivoting my passion for technology toward the DevOps culture. I am in a career transition phase, dedicating my studies to bridging the gap between development and operations through automation. My focus is on mastering tools that ensure agile delivery and robust environments, leveraging the logical reasoning I've developed over the years to optimize workflows.
