// about
Hi, I’m Sitar Gold
I’m a DevOps engineer, AWS Community Builder, and the creator of SDGOPS, a platform where technical depth meets human storytelling. Through podcasts, blog posts, and talks, I bring a fresh perspective to high-tech culture by blending automation, cloud engineering, and real career experiences with creativity, humor, and honesty.
Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or just starting your journey in tech, SDGOPS is built for people who want more than just documentation. They want the story behind the code.
