I'm a software engineer with over 11 years of industry experience. I'm a certified AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Scrum professional with application development and deployment expertise. I've worked with companies of different economic sectors and sizes, ranging from startups to enterprises, and delivered high-quality products. I am almost language and tech-stack agnostic, though for the record I can tell that I am proficient in JS/TS frameworks, Python, Java, Kubernetes, Docker, & Terraform.
