I am a software engineering practitioner with a strong focus on backend systems, DevOps, and structured system design.
My work emphasizes reliability, automation, and building systems that are production-oriented rather than experimental.
I am actively developing skills in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, agentic AI workflows, and scalable backend architectures.
