What I'm looking for

My goal is to provide high-quality, time-tested solutions, as well as cutting-edge research and innovations for you and your organization.

At UKG, I work on Python, Node.js, and Golang development alongside Windows application architecture. I improved production pipelines for cluster creation and upgrades, and helped develop a customized blue-green image deployment strategy.

At Focus School Software, I migrated much of the Python 2 code to Python 3 and created a Django, Celery, Ansible, and Kubernetes management system for developers’ customized environments. I also assisted with migrating most KVM servers to AWS and set up CI/CD with the company’s private GitLab instance.

At Bibi Enterprises, I worked with a team of three interns to build applications using Phalcon, MySQL, OpenLDAP, Elasticsearch, and CouchDB. My broader work has included cloud and infrastructure migrations, deployment automation, and monitoring systems.
