About
I'm a seasoned full stack and DevOps developer with plenty of experience in web and mobile. I enjoy writing code as much as building what runs it in production. Driven by research and by always learning more, I've gained experience across several well-known companies.
Day to day, I focus on building robust, scalable web applications, backend architecture with Java, Spring Boot and Python, modern user interfaces with React and Angular, systems integration and RESTful APIs, and DevOps (Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, AWS).
