Hello, I'm Harsimran.
(Pronounced: her-sim-run)

Don't worry if you find my name tricky to pronounce—I'm not easily offended. Friends and colleagues often call me Harsimran, Maan, or simply HSM.

As a dedicated Liverpool FC supporter, I rarely miss a game. If you’ve discovered me through my prediction about Liverpool winning the league buried in a seed passphrase at a datacenter in Germany—yes, that was me (and yes, I was right and I enjoy my work too).

I’m passionate about open source and open collaboration. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully introduced engineering and collaboration practices to enterprises, especially within multi-cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP. I’ve also contributed to the Kubernetes ecosystem and have a strong focus on IAM and security.

My achievements are deeply rooted in the support I’ve received from family, friends, colleagues, and the vibrant open-source community. I've had the privilege of mentoring engineers, advising startups, and volunteering at nonprofits—one of which led me to meet my wonderful wife.

While I’ve experienced both successes and failures in the world of software and technology, these experiences have shaped my perspectives. I'm always open to exploring new ideas and embracing diverse viewpoints. I look forward to collaborating with you.
