About Me

I am a a software and DevOps engineer with years of experience building reliable, scalable, and high-performance cloud native systems. My expertise lies in Python and Golang, with a strong background in designing both monolithic and distributed architectures.

I specialize in working with AWS services, Kubernetes, and Terraform to deploy and maintain cloud-based solutions. From writing efficient SQL queries to implementing infrastructure as code (IaC) with Terraform and Ansible, I bring a DevOps mindset to software development, ensuring smooth deployments and robust system monitoring with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch.

Now, I’m stepping into freelancing, ready to help businesses build scalable backends, optimize cloud infrastructure, and create high-performance applications. If you’re looking for a reliable engineer who can bridge the gap between development and operations, let’s connect!
