> About

Hi there, I'm happy you landed on my page. Currently, I'm open to work and actively looking for interesting remote positions around the world.

> Cloud/DevOps Engineer & Full-Stack Developer

I'm a driven software engineer with over five years of experience in Cloud, DevOps, and Full-Stack development, holding the "AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate" certification. Throughout my career I had a chance to lead small to mid-sized projects from design to deployment, maintenance and monitoring; and consulting on internal migration projects.

I'm self-motivated, detail-oriented, and possess strong technical and soft skills. With my positive attitude and energy, and excellent communication and collaboration abilities, I'm a great team player and a valuable asset to any organization.

In addition to my professional work, I'm also an avid developer in my free time. I've been honing my full-stack development skills by building a side project for the last 2 years—a web application that is currently deployed on Azure and being used by over 500 users.
