Who am I
Software engineer by day, currently working in the banking sector for a mobile banking team. At night, I like to play around to bring my ideas to life, whether it is to keep my trusted RaspberryPi up and running with its containers, or to develop stuff which is mainly useless but helps me learn stuff.
Backend & JVM
Microservices migration, scalable design, and deep-diving into JVM internals with Java and Kotlin.
DevOps & IaC
Automation is life, using Jenkins, Docker, and Terraform to ensure everything needs zero clicks.
Observability
"Zero Downtime" guy, leveraging Splunk and Dynatrace for monitoring and alerting.
Apple Academy Alumnus
Native mobile development with Swift and backend services using Vapor

Under the hood
Not only a techie, I've also lots of other passions! I like to play video games a lot, League of Legends has been a really bad rabbit hole for me in the past. Same goes for TTRPGs, I've played D&D for like 10+ years. Also, I like playing guitar even though I don't play as much as I used to do in the past. Then, I love photography and photo editing, so don't be surprised if you will see here some travel posts with pictures I've taken. Last but not least, I love bad (like really bad) movies.
