I'm a passionate software engineer and cloud engineer who loves aviation and building intelligent applications. I work at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, and product-quality software, building reliable, scalable systems and experimenting with LLM-powered experiences (chatbots, assistants, and retrieval-augmented apps).
I design and build full-stack applications and cloud infrastructure, with a focus on:
- Intelligent applications and chatbots using LLMs and vector stores.
- Scalable cloud-native systems (containers, Kubernetes, serverless).
- Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and production observability
- Mobile and web applications with a great developer experience
- Software Engineer — building backend systems, APIs, and web/mobile frontends
- Cloud Engineer — designing, deploying, and operating scalable cloud infrastructure, IaC (Terraform / Ansible), containerization, orchestration, CI/CD, observability, and cost optimization.
- LLMs & AI: LangChain, LlamaIndex, embeddings, vector DBs, retrieval-augmented generation
- Cloud & DevOps: AWS (EC2, ECS/Fargate, ECR), Google Cloud (Cloud Run), Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring & logging
- Backend: Node.js + Express, Python + FastAPI, Golang
- Databases & Caching: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, MySQL/MariaDB, Memcached, MSSQL DB
- Queues & Workers: Celery, RabbitMQ, BullMQ
- Web & Frontend: TypeScript, React (Vite / Next.js), Vue (Nuxt), Tailwind CSS
- Mobile: Flutter, React Native
- ORMs: SQLAlchemy, TypeORM, DrizzleORM, Prisma, GORM
- Testing: Vitest, SuperTest, PyTest, Playwright, Apache JMeter, K6, Puppeteer
- Other languages & platforms: C++, Java, C#, PHP / WordPress, MySQL, Lua
- Building conversational agents and intelligent tooling with LLMs
- Platform engineering for high-availability systems
- Aviation-related software and tools (flight planning, data analysis)
- Developer experience: automations, tooling, and clear documentation
