About
I’m a software engineer focused on automating cloud infrastructure and improving developer workflows. I have hands-on experience with CI/CD, service modeling, and configuration management across Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and AWS, building reliable tooling for developers and platform teams.
I enjoy turning complex problems into scalable solutions, from Go-based service models to plugin-based tooling, and I continuously explore emerging tech like AI prompts and API integrations to boost developer productivity.
