About me
Curious about me? Here you have it:
A passionate technologist with a penchant for problem-solving and continuous learning, I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and encourage innovation. My journey from automating design processes to developing complex cloud-based solutions has equipped me with a versatile skill set and a comprehensive understanding of software development and cloud engineering. I believe in the power of technology to transform businesses and improve lives, and I am driven by the opportunity to create solutions that make a real impact. Outside of work, I am an avid learner, always exploring the latest advancements in technology and seeking ways to apply them to solve real-world problems.
I began my journey as a software automation engineer, optimizing design processes and enhancing efficiency with VBA and API integration. My knack for innovative solutions led me to streamline product designs, significantly improving project delivery timelines. Transitioning into the realm of e-commerce, I developed a robust cloud-based platform, ensuring stability and performance even during peak traffic. This experience honed my fullstack development skills, which I further refined by designing backend applications to enhance security incident management. I leveraged AWS serverless infrastructure, creating APIs and automating deployments with Terraform. My current role involves advancing IoT solutions for real-time temperature monitoring, utilizing AWS, FastAPI, and React, demonstrating my proficiency in both backend and frontend development.
