About

I am a Software Engineer specializing in backend development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, with core expertise in Ruby on Rails, Golang, Kubernetes, and Terraform. I focus on building scalable systems and driving engineering efficiency through automation—proven by architecting Kubernetes CI/CD pipelines that increased deployment frequency by 3x and leading a seamless migration from GCP to Azure. A strong proponent of GitOps and observability (Prometheus, Grafana), I genuinely enjoy engineering systems from scratch. My hands-on passion extends to personal projects, including building a concurrent BitTorrent client in Go, developing a CLI chess engine in Ruby, and managing my own homelab infrastructure using kubeadm and metallb.
