About Me

Hi! I'm Gaurav Sharma, an aspiring Backend & Cloud Engineer currently pursuing B.Tech in Information Technology at Indira Gandhi Engineering College.

I love taking ideas and turning them into real, deployable projects. From hosting portfolio websites on AWS EC2 to building live chat applications and secure REST APIs — I'm constantly exploring how things work behind the scenes.

What drives me is the excitement of learning every day and building things that actually run in the real world. My goal is to grow into a role where I can work on cloud infrastructure, backend systems, and scalable APIs.

Currently focused on:

  • ▹ Deep-diving into AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront)
  • ▹ Strengthening DSA in C++
  • ▹ Building production-ready backend systems
  • ▹ Learning Docker & Kubernetes
