I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer and Python Backend Developer focused on building, deploying, and maintaining reliable backend applications and cloud infrastructure.

My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, networking, and automation. I enjoy taking applications from development to production — designing APIs, containerizing services, automating deployments, managing Linux infrastructure, and building secure AWS environments.

• ☁️ Design and manage AWS cloud infrastructure
• 🐍 Build backend applications and REST APIs with Python, Django, Django REST Framework, and FastAPI
• 🐳 Containerize applications using Docker and Podman
• 🔄 Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• 🖥️ Deploy and administer applications on Linux servers
• 🌐 Configure reverse proxies, gateways, and TLS using Nginx and Traefik
• 🔐 Implement authentication, authorization, IAM, secrets management, and secure configurations
• 🗄️ Work with PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, Memcached, and other data stores
• 📡 Build and integrate APIs with external services
• ⚙️ Automate infrastructure, deployments, and operational workflows

AWS Services I've worked with:

EC2 S3 IAM VPC Route 53 Lambda RDS ECR Elastic Beanstalk CodeBuild CodePipeline CloudFormation CloudWatch Secrets Manager Parameter Store KMS

Docker Podman Nginx Traefik Gunicorn Supervisor CI/CD Linux

PostgreSQL SQLite Redis Memcached TinyDB

MikroTik UniFi Cambium Networks DNS HTTP/HTTPS Reverse Proxy SSL/TLS

Git GitHub VS Code Ubuntu WSL Kali Linux

I've worked across development, deployment, and production environments with AWS and modern infrastructure tooling.

My practical experience includes:

• EC2-based application hosting
• S3 storage and application assets
• IAM roles, policies, and permissions
• VPC networking
• Route 53 DNS management
• RDS databases
• Lambda-based workloads
• ECR container registries
• Elastic Beanstalk deployments
• CodeBuild and CodePipeline
• CloudFormation
• Secrets Manager and Parameter Store
• CloudWatch monitoring
• Docker-based deployments
• Reverse proxy and TLS configuration
• Automated application deployment

I particularly enjoy solving the problems that exist between application code and production infrastructure.

My backend development work is primarily centered around Python.

• Django applications
• Django REST Framework
• Authentication and authorization
• Database design and migrations
• REST APIs
• PostgreSQL and SQLite
• Production deployments

• RESTful APIs
• Authentication and authorization
• API integrations
• Asynchronous application development
• Dockerized services
• Production deployments

A network infrastructure and captive portal project integrating:

• MikroTik
• Cambium access points
• FastAPI
• Authentication
• Network management
• Let's Encrypt
• Linux
• Reverse proxies

This project combines networking, backend development, infrastructure, security, and automation.

A containerized application environment involving:

• Django
• FastAPI
• Docker
• Traefik
• Nginx
• Supervisor
• AWS
• PostgreSQL
• CI/CD

This project provided practical experience deploying multiple application services behind production infrastructure and managing the supporting cloud environment.

I also experiment with and maintain self-hosted services and infrastructure, including:

• FileBrowser
• Immich
• Jellyfin
• Kasm
• Komodo

These projects provide hands-on experience with Linux administration, containers, networking, reverse proxies, storage, security, and infrastructure management.

I'm continuing to deepen my expertise in:

• ☁️ AWS Cloud Architecture
• 🏗️ Infrastructure as Code
• 🔄 CI/CD and DevOps
• 🐳 Container orchestration
• 🔐 Cloud security
• 🏛️ Distributed systems
• 🐍 Advanced Python backend engineering
• 🌐 Scalable API architecture
• 🤖 AI/LLM application infrastructure

I'm particularly interested in progressing toward Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Solutions Architecture, and Cloud-focused Software Engineering roles.

I like building things, breaking them, figuring out why they broke, and then automating the solution.
