Summary

I’m a quick learner who thrives in the gray areas of problem-solving and embraces ambiguity head-on. I enjoy taking full ownership of projects, from conception to production, constantly seeking opportunities to automate, optimize, and improve existing solutions.

My work is customer-centered—I want users to love their experience with the products as much as I enjoy coding for them. With colleagues, I embrace differences and debates as opportunities to move forward and get things done.

From designing Cloud (AWS) and on-prem solutions to mentoring teams and streamlining legacy systems, I’ve built my career on being resourceful, resilient, and adaptable.

Passionate about infrastructure maintenance, automation, and site reliability, and experienced in Java, Python, AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD, I am seeking opportunities in a fast-paced environment with strong leadership that nurtures autonomy and trust, where I can make a meaningful impact.
