Hello,
I'm Vivek 👋
I'm a software engineer based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I'm currently working at Xero where I build templates and
tooling that help teams rapidly create high-quality software. Before that, I was a DevOps Engineer
at FIS where I maintained the CI infrastructure, build
pipelines and internal tooling used by over 200 engineers.
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games and honing my software engineering skills through
various projects, which are listed below.
