Hello! I’m Diya Banerjee and I’m a Computer Science & Engineering graduate. I have hands-on skills in SQL and Python, with a keen interest in Database Management. During my college projects, I got the opportunity to work with Ansible, which gave me practical experience in automation. So, I am eager to join this Ansible Release Management Program to enhance my automation skills and contribute to open-source development. ---
