I am a ☁️Cloud Engineer engaging in DevOps practices, with an affinity for software engineering. My everyday work consists of managing AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure. With 3 years of professional IT experience, I focus on implementing robust, scalable cloud solutions.
My best achievement yet is Rito Kids, an EdTech startup which I Co-Founded. The app has gathered up to 20k+ downloads📈. Rito Kids is an educational cross-platform mobile application which helps children aged 4-8 learn handwriting in a fun, interactive way enabled by complex image processing algorithms.
My long term goal🔭 is to become an expert Platform Engineer and specialize in hybrid systems and security, leveraging enterprise cloud solutions in on premise environments.
I am a highly technical person. I would say the easiest way to catch my attention is to engage in a discussion about the latest technologies, hardware or methodologies used for hosting and operating whatever kind of software.
