About me
Full-Stack Developer, based in Australia
Who am I?
A few years ago, I made the decision to pursue IT seriously and finish my studies. Since then, I’ve had the chance to work with amazing colleagues, mentors, and clients, and every project has been an opportunity to grow both technically and personally.
Today, I focus on backend engineering and cloud-native solutions, with a strong DevOps mindset. Most of my work revolves around building reliable, scalable APIs and systems on AWS — but I also enjoy picking up new technologies and applying them where they make sense.
While my passion is backend and infrastructure, I’m not limited to it. This very site was built with Gatsby, GraphQL, and styled-components — because I like having an eye on the full picture.
What motivates me most is solving complex problems and improving existing systems so that teams can move faster and businesses can deliver better experiences to their users. I thrive in collaborative environments where people iterate, share knowledge, and push each other to do better.
