I've worked alongside Nikita in the Grafana community for a while, but sitting down with her one-on-one for career guidance made a difference I didn't expect. As a DevOps engineer, speaker, and Grafana Champion, she's someone whose advice I already trusted - but hearing it directly, in person, gave it a weight that no amount of community interaction could. She listened, understood exactly where I was stuck, and gave me clarity I could actually act on. Grateful to have had that conversation. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for guidance, now or down the line.

About me
Coming from a non-tech background, my tech journey has been nothing short of incredible - full of learning, challenges, and growth. I started with multiple internships that gave me hands-on exposure and real-world experience, which eventually helped me land a role as a DevOps Engineer at Jio.
At Jio, I’ve honed strong expertise in DevOps culture, cloud infrastructure, and automation, while also developing key interpersonal skills through collaboration and cross-team work.
Beyond my role, I’m actively involved in tech communities—organizing meetups, mentoring aspiring professionals, and occasionally writing about technology and career growth. I’m also passionate about dance, travel, and constantly chasing bold, even “crazy,” ideas that inspire innovation.
I genuinely enjoy helping others—whether it’s reviewing resumes, improving job search strategies, or building better habits. My Topmate feedback reflects the impact I strive to make in every interaction.
Nikita is recognized for exceptional mentoring, simplifying complex issues, inspiring confidence, strategic thinking, and aiding in job preparation.
