Senior software architect and hands-on engineer with more than a decade of experience designing and delivering scalable digital platforms, APIs, and automation solutions. Skilled in bridging product vision and technical execution, leading cross-functional teams, and implementing cloud-native architectures in AWS and hybrid environments. Passionate about clean architecture, DevOps automation, and creating maintainable systems that drive measurable business outcomes. Over the years, I have worked extensively with containerization and Infrastructure as Code using Docker, Kubernetes, AWS EKS, and Terraform/Terragrunt. I have also delivered solutions involving Redis, Couchbase, Varnish, MongoDB, Kafka, AWS SQS/SNS, and many other technologies. I thrive in environments where I can quickly learn and adapt to new stacks, and I firmly believe that great software engineers understand principles deeply enough that technology becomes secondary. My background allows me to be productive in virtually any stack, including C# or Java, even without prior professional experience in them. Perspective on AI in Software Development I also have a strong theoretical understanding of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on software development. I believe AI can significantly increase developer productivity when guided by skilled architects and engineers. While I have not yet worked hands-on with AI-assisted development, I see tremendous potential in combining human architectural insight with AI acceleration for highly efficient and innovative software delivery.
