Junior Devops Engineer & Song Writer
About Me
I’m a junior DevOps engineer with a growing passion for automation and process optimization. I recently transitioned into DevOps after working in frontend development, and I’m excited to build systems that make engineering teams faster, safer, and more efficient.
My recent focus has been on containerization with Docker, continuous integration and deployment, and streamlining development workflows. I love automating repetitive or error-prone tasks that could slow down or frustrate other engineers.
Alongside my DevOps journey, I continue to explore frontend and game development through side projects. I enjoy creating smooth user experiences with tools like React and Unity, and believe these creative pursuits make me a more well-rounded engineer.
I’m always open to learning, experimenting, and collaborating on projects that blend technical depth with real-world value. Whether it’s through automation, design, or systems thinking, I aim to build things that matter.
