Technical Writing

Since November 2022, I have been working with KodeKloud as a freelance technical writer. My writing primarily covers topics such as Bash scripting, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes. So far, I've written 58 posts on these subjects.

In addition to the posts, I've produced write-ups for the following playgrounds. These playgrounds are interactive sandbox environments designed for hands-on practice and learning with various cloud and DevOps technologies.

Furthermore, I had the opportunity rewrite the following articles originally drafted by another technical writer. Do note, these articles continue to be credited under the original author's name.
