About Me

Backend specialist, lifelong learner, and mentor dedicated to clean code and scalable architecture.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 6 years of experience specializing in PHP, Python, and Node.js. My core strength lies in backend development—designing performant, testable, and extensible systems.

I bring deep expertise in CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes infrastructure, SOLID principles, and TDD. I’ve worked on building microservices, optimizing APIs, integrating third-party services, and reducing technical debt through rigorous code reviews.

Outside of building systems, I mentor junior developers, lead technical interviews, and stay ahead of trends in DevOps, AI tooling, and CMS platforms to continuously deliver value.
