About Me

I’m a backend software engineer with a growing interest in DevOps, always looking for ways to build better, more reliable systems. I enjoy turning ideas into real projects, experimenting with new tools and technologies along the way. When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me with a cup of coffee, planning the next thing to build. ☕💻

Currently learning: Go, Terraform, K8S
