Introduction

With experience across the full development lifecycle, I enjoy turning complex problems into elegant solutions. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies or contributing to the developer community.

My skills include Python, Swift, and Shell scripting, plus hands-on experience with web services, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, SQL/NoSQL databases, security and most importantly — Unix systems.

I'm also a huge Star Wars nerd, with a side love for design, obstacle races and motorcycles.

Beyond the Code

When I'm not writing code, you'll find me pushing my limits at obstacle and triathlon races, hiking trails, riding motorcycles through the countryside, traveling to discover new cultures and places, behind a camera lens chasing the perfect shot, or rewatching the Star Wars saga for the hundredth time.

These passions keep me sharp, curious, and always ready for the next challenge — on screen or off.
