🗿 About Me

I'm a Cloud Architect and Software/System Engineer passionate about AI, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Platform Engineering, backend development, and solving complex problems 😎.

I've spent years building and operating large-scale distributed systems, with a strong background in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). I enjoy creating environments where critical thinking, data-driven decisions, continuous learning, and strong engineering culture come first.


🛠️ Tech Stack

  • ☁️ Cloud: AWS (AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional and DevOps Engineer – Professional) and GCP.
  • 💻 Software Engineering: Java, Python, Rust, C++, Terraform HCL and Shell. I've also built production systems with Kotlin, Go, Scala, Ruby and Clojure. I believe choosing the right tool matters more than collecting languages.
  • 🤖 AI-Assisted Development: Constantly experimenting with AI to multiply productivity, teaching agents to write the boring code, without multiplying my API bill.
  • ☸️ Platform Engineering: Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, Rancher, Cilium) with a pragmatic mindset—sometimes the best Kubernetes cluster is the one you never had to create.
  • 📈 SRE: API-first, OpenTelemetry, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Ansible, CI/CD, C4 Model, ADRs and RFCs. Automation is the default, not an afterthought.

✨ What I'm Working On

  • Exploring new software architectures, distributed systems, AI agents, Rust, Scala, and modern cloud-native patterns.
  • Building an AI-powered financial asset management platform focused on the European market.

⚡ Fun Fact

My first degree wasn't Computer Science...

It was Astronomy. 🤓🌌

So yes, I literally started my career by looking at the stars before moving to the cloud.
