I am a Platform/SRE/DevOps and Backend Engineer with a passion for building scalable distributed systems and high-performance web tooling. With hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and CI/CD pipelines, I thrive in agile environments where I can bridge the gap between infrastructure and application logic.
