01.About Me

Hello! I'm Parth, a Senior Platform Engineer based in Auckland, New Zealand, with a passion for building scalable, reliable infrastructure.

Currently working at Nintex, where I focus on service mesh architecture, GitOps, and cross-cloud platform operations.

When I'm not building infrastructure, I'm a proud dad to a 4-week-old baby girl. I love learning and trying new things, contributing to open source projects, and traveling to explore new places.

My technical focus includes:

Service mesh architecture (Istio sidecar to ambient mode migrations)
Network policy design with Cilium for mesh-aware workloads
GitOps with ArgoCD & app-of-apps patterns with Helm
Ingress and SSO with OAuth2-Proxy + Microsoft Entra ID
Cross-cloud platform operations across Azure and GCP
PowerShell and .NET automation

Favorite tool:k9s — the terminal UI that sits on top of your kubeconfig.
