Hi, I'm Sujeevan Vijayakumaran 👋🏾

I'm a self-employed consultant, author, and DevOps practitioner based in Germany. From April 2020 to October 2024 I worked at GitLab as a Solutions Architect, helping enterprise customers design and adopt GitLab across the software development lifecycle. Today I help teams and organisations adopt modern DevOps practices, improve their software delivery pipelines, and get the most out of GitLab.

Company 🏢

I run Friday Deployments GmbH — a consultancy focused on DevOps, platform engineering, and GitLab advisory. If you're looking for expert guidance on CI/CD, DevOps transformation, or GitLab implementation, feel free to reach out.

Books 📚

I have written two books on software engineering and operations:

• DevOps — A comprehensive guide to DevOps culture, practices, and tooling, published by Rheinwerk Verlag.
• Git — Schnelleinstieg — A practical quick-start guide to Git, published by mitp.

Writing, Podcast & More

I write about DevOps, GitLab, tech and other stuff on my blog at svij.org.

I also co-host TILpod.net — a podcast about things we learn along the way.
