I had the opportunity of working with Uchit very closely back in 2016 when Uchit and myself were part of the very first (initial) hires in Oracle (India) as part of an IaaS Specialist Team focusing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS - Classic & OCI). It was very apparent from our initial meeting, and then synergizing with you on multiple customer accounts that Uchit brought a lot of Cloud, and specifically DevOps, DevSecOps and Agile knowledge with him to the table; with clear lines of communication, Uchit added a lot of value to our new On-Cloud customer acquisitions and on-boarding. A very good team player, with an eye for details, passionate about excellence, I synergized with Uchit on a few Key Accounts wherein his knowledge was sought for, and it was a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend him for Cloud, Mult-Cloud, DevOps, DevSecOps and Quality Engineering roles without any reservations.

Quality Assurance begins from Requirements & Design till delivery, avoiding delays due to quality issues and thus allowing faster time to market. organization needd to think about Application design gaps at very day 0 by establishing same Framework / Methodology / Templates / Process across Enterprise Ecosystem.
Today everybody wants to deploy the app and infrastructure faster without any disputes. An Even, Agile framework can help to deploy faster in real-time. But Continuous Innovation may conflict with stability and security. Without security at every stage, DevSecOps merely introduces vulnerabilities into application quickly. To resolve such conflict, the gap in recursive feedback loops need to be eliminated. Mostly, teams are not effectively working in a collaboration and interacting with each other smoothly. This results in gaps and produce problems with code development and quality, meaning slower delivery plans and serious vulnerabilities that create security risk at most. Fortunately, these shortcomings can be addressed very well, as developers/testers are set to launch off into the DevSecOps world or via adopting rugged DevSecOps model.

This is the story of a company that had 10s of customers and were facing severe scaling issues. They approached us. They had a good product predicting a few hundred customers within 6 months. VCs went to them. Infrastructure scaling was the only unknown; funding for software-defined data centers. We introduced Terraform for infrastructure creation, Chef for OS hardening, and then Packer for supporting AWS as well as VSphere. Then, after a few more weeks, when there was a need for faster response from the data center, we went into Serf to immediately trigger chef-clients and then to Consul for service monitoring.
