What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can combine software engineering and DevOps to architect cloud-native systems, build CI/CD pipelines, and deploy microservices — open to international relocation, especially East Asia.

I am a software engineer with strong DevOps experience, combining hands-on development with infrastructure and CI/CD automation. During internships I built reusable GitHub Actions workflows, migrated repositories from TFS to GitHub Enterprise, developed modular Terraform IaC, and prototyped a containerized GitHub Actions Runner Controller that was praised by senior engineers.

I have delivered mobile app redesigns and backend features using Java, Spring Boot, .NET, and containerized environments while collaborating across distributed teams. I am completing a B.S. in Computer Science (3.94 GPA) and seek roles where I can architect cloud-native systems, microservices, and platform solutions, including opportunities for international relocation.
