My journey in tech started off as a software engineer, mainly working with C#. But as I grew, so did my skills. I found myself diving into projects that involved Angular for the frontend, Java for the middle tier, and Oracle for the backend. Also, I moved to complex R&D projects to work on React frontend project for workflows handling using the Camunda engine. Alongside coding, I started delving into the world of DevOps, tinkering with Bitbucket pipelines and getting my hands dirty with daily maintenance tasks and troubleshooting. Managing bare metals and VMs soon became second nature to me. π οΈ
Recently, I’ve taken on a new role as a leader in the DevOps and cloud space. Now, as a JuniorΒ Cloud & DevOps Solutions Architect, I’m all about containerization, orchestration, and handling infrastructure across different cloud providers. Whether you’re struggling with containers or need help navigating the cloud, you’ve come to the right person. Let’s tackle those tech challenges together! βοΈπ
