Hello There!

I'm a Software Developer and Cloud Engineer with almost 4 years of experience specializing in backend development with cloud services. My expertise lies in designing and implementing serverless microservices architectures, with a focus on delivering high-quality, efficient, and consistent code.

Apart from my passion for software development, I have a keen interest in recreational photography, capturing unique moments during my travels. I also enjoy riding my motorcycle, which allows me to explore new places and experience the thrill of the open road. I'm an avid fan of visiting different restaurants, always seeking out new culinary experiences. Additionally, I have a deep appreciation for the imaginative works of authors like Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, J.K. Rowling, and Eiichiro Oda, who inspire my love for extensive lore in a fictional world.

P.S. If you feel that this is not the best portfolio site you have seen, please note that I specialize in backend development, and UI/UX has never been my expertise. 😁
