My journey in this fast-changing industry has given me a deep understanding of the latest technologies, positioning me to offer innovative solutions to current and future challenges. With a strong background in app containerization and deployment, I have notably improved API performance, decreasing login times by about 62.71% and transfer times by approximately 74.94%. I am skilled in system design, infrastructure as code, and problem-solving, with a demonstrated history of delivering scalable and resilient applications.
