About

I'm a software engineer passionate about building scalable, cloud-native applications that blend performance, maintainability, and efficiency. My work revolves around designing robust backend systems and cloud architectures so applications remain resilient and high-performing.

I specialize in AWS and serverless computing, architecting solutions that use cloud technologies for scalability. I work across Python, JavaScript, C#, SQL, and more, with experience in frameworks including React, Flask, Django, and ASP.NET.

In the past, I've built software in settings ranging from media companies and enterprise technology to startups and cloud-driven platforms. My work has ranged from optimizing business automation to engineering cloud infrastructure that supports mission-critical applications.
