Whether it is designing a RESTful API from scratch, optimizing PostgreSQL queries for high-traffic systems, or orchestrating containerized deployments on AWS and Google Cloud, I bring a structured and detail-oriented approach to every project. I am currently available for remote full-time positions and freelance contracts worldwide.
