About
I have been a professional software engineer since 2007, working across the full stack with a diverse range of web technologies and tools. My career has spanned large-scale enterprise application development, cloud infrastructure automation, and real-time data processing at scale. Beyond individual contribution, I bring experience leading DevOps teams, designing CI/CD pipelines, and architecting infrastructure-as-code solutions — always with an eye toward reliability, maintainability, and developer productivity.
