DevOps Engineer & Full-Stack Developer
Infrastructure Reliability · CI/CD · Container Orchestration
I am a software engineer focused on DevOps, backed by hands-on full-stack development experience. I design CI/CD pipelines, operate containerised deployments, and manage self-hosted infrastructure that helps engineering teams ship reliably. I also build production applications with TypeScript, Angular, React, Next.js, Python, and Django.
Knowing how software is built informs how I design and operate the infrastructure it runs on.
