🚀 About me

  • 👨‍💻 Experience: 7+ years across fintech, telecom, and SaaS
  • 🏗️ Architecture: microservices, event-driven, hexagonal, DDD, SOA (with pragmatic trade-offs)
  • ☁️ Cloud: AWS (DynamoDB, S3, SQS/SNS, Lambda, Aurora, EC2/ECS)
  • 🧪 Quality: CI/CD, pipelines (GitLab/GitHub), code quality, observability
  • 🧠 Learning: preparing AWS Solutions Architect (in progress)
  • 🤝 Team: I value clarity, docs, feedback loops, and pragmatic delivery
  • 🧪 Fun fact: I love performance, optimization, and being a bit of a mad scientist with new tech ⚗️

🧩 Core strengths

  • Backend & APIs: Node.js/TypeScript, PHP/Laravel, Java/Spring Boot
  • Frontend & Mobile: React, Next.js, Angular, React Native
  • Data: PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, DynamoDB; messaging with Kafka & gRPC/REST
  • Ops: Docker, Docker Swarm, Nginx, SonarQube, GitLab CI/CD
