Hi, I'm

Wasae Qureshi

DevOps Engineer · SMTS at Salesforce

Building and scaling the infrastructure, pipelines, and automation that help engineering teams ship with speed and confidence.

01. About Me

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer with nearly a decade at Salesforce, where I've grown from supporting enterprise operations to architecting CI/CD infrastructure and enabling DevOps culture across the Service Cloud organization.

My path into software engineering wasn't linear. I struggled with fundamentals early on in college, but a pivotal internship and a shift in mindset changed everything. I rebuilt my foundation from the ground up, developed a genuine passion for the craft, and have been accelerating ever since.

Today I work at the intersection of software development and infrastructure — building the systems and tooling that help teams move faster and more reliably. I'm passionate about automation, clean pipelines, and solving problems that make engineers' lives easier.
