About Me

I'm a software engineer specializing in full-stack development, microservices architecture, and DevOps.

I work primarily with Laravel, TypeScript, Node.js, and Docker, building enterprise applications and data platforms that scale.

In my free time, I run a comprehensive home server infrastructure on Proxmox and experiment with AI-powered applications, constantly exploring new technologies and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
