Introduction

A circle picture of Teshwar

This website was built as part of the Cloud Resume Challenge , a project that gave me the chance to put cloud, automation, and DevOps concepts into practice. You're looking at the final product of that challenge, where I learned how to design, deploy, and maintain a cloud-based application end to end, while gaining hands-on experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and testing.

Hi, I'm Teshwar Karan Tarachand — a recent Carleton University graduate with a strong passion for networking, backed by my CCNA certification. Alongside networking, I’m expanding my skills in cloud and automation, and I’m excited to keep building practical, real-world solutions.
Please find my experiences and projects below.
