I design scalable, secure CI/CD pipelines and manage cloud-native applications on AWS and Azure. I also bring a strong background in database administration, which gives me a unique perspective on data infrastructure and reliability. I recently completed a Master’s in Applied Computer Science in Germany and am now leading infrastructure automation initiatives that have boosted deployment frequency by 40% and reduced operational costs by 30%. I value pragmatic, secure, and scalable solutions and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable systems.
