About Me

I am a seasoned software engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing and implementing scalable cloud-based solutions. My expertise spans across full-stack development, microservices architecture, and DevOps practices. I'm passionate about writing clean, efficient code and building systems that make a real impact.

Currently based in Seattle, Washington, I specialize in cloud-native applications using AWS and Azure, with a strong focus on containerization and orchestration technologies. I thrive in collaborative environments where innovation and continuous learning are encouraged.

When I'm not coding, you can find me contributing to open-source projects, hiking in the Pacific Northwest, or experimenting with new technologies and frameworks.
