About Me

I'm a Software Engineer specializing in building modern, scalable applications using React, Next.js, Express.js and Node.js. With a strong eye for design and performance. Complementing my Frontend and Backend expertise, I bring DevOps skills to the table — managing deployments with Kubernetes, writing IaC, and setting up observability and CI/CD pipelines. I'm also enthusiast about Network and Web Application Security. This blend allows me to deliver full-cycle solutions from code to production with efficiency and reliability.
