Ridowan Sikder

I’m Mohammad Ridowan Sikder, a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology in Bangladesh, passionate about exploring how systems work beneath the surface. My interests span DevSecOps, backend engineering, and MLOps, where I enjoy building secure, automated, and scalable systems while documenting everything I learn along the way. This blog is my personal space to share insights from my projects, experiments, and deep dives into topics like Linux, CI/CD, cloud-native architecture, and infrastructure security — written simply, clearly, and from hands-on experience.
