I’m a hands-on software engineer with over 18 years of experience solving real-world problems with code. I’ve spent most of that time building web applications, backend systems, and automation tools — often using Python, Django, REST, and a healthy mix of SQL and shell scripts on Linux.

Along the way, I’ve also picked up frontend work with Angular and React, and built infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform. I wouldn’t call myself a DevOps engineer, but I do believe in owning the full stack — from writing the API to making sure it runs smoothly in production.

I’ve worked in all kinds of teams — large, small, remote, distributed, fast-paced, slow-paced. For the last few years, I’ve been freelancing, which has been both freeing and demanding in the best possible way. It’s pushed me to keep learning, stay sharp, and step outside my comfort zone. I love the mix of flexibility and challenge it brings.
