Hi, I'm Harshit Maann

An IT Operations and DevOps professional with 2+ years of experience supporting production systems, automating infrastructure, and resolving incidents in 24/7 environments. Currently a Consultant at FDM Group, building enterprise IT operations expertise.

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Lakehead University (First-Class Standing, Class of 2026), Azure and GCP certified, and happiest at the intersection of automation, security, and reliability: making infrastructure that deploys itself, heals itself, and doesn't page anyone at 3 a.m.

My journey started in New Delhi, took a sharp turn into a Thunder Bay winter, and now runs through Toronto. Along the way I led student governance, ran operations for a TEDx conference, and mentored first-year students. Good engineering, like good community, is about showing up consistently.
