DevOps Engineer at Graia

Hungary

About

After high school, I started working as a system administrator, closely working with people and computers alike. I always wanted to build something, I set out to be a civil engineer, which today I don't see as a mistake, just a happy little accident, as it did help me grow. In Codecool at first I aimed to be developer, with a passion to create useful apps. After I finished the Java focused full-stack program there, I also completed the full DevOps course. At first I thought its going to help me become a greater developer, never thought I would love DevOps this much and it's a carrier in its own. My goal is to learn more, create and contribute in apps which I can be proud of.
