Experience

Infrastructure experience. Software depth.

Three years in professional infrastructure and IT engineering, hands-on work since 2018, and software development through my own products and independent projects.

Career timeline

From infrastructure foundations to complete software systems.

Roles spanning support, systems administration, automation, product engineering and technical ownership.

Sep 2025 — present

Founder · Software & Platform Engineer · Cappio

I turn product requirements into operated systems across application and platform layers. I build web applications and APIs with ASP.NET Core, Go and Next.js, design data services with MongoDB and PostgreSQL, integrate secure identity, and automate Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, AWS and GitHub Actions. I own architecture, delivery, reliability and production support end to end.
