About Myself

Other than being an awesome software engineer, I am also a son, friend and boyfriend. I love pets, proud dad of a cat named Milo - on the right. Here are some more pictures of him. I also love to cook and bake, here are some pictures of some of the successful ones. I absolutely love indoor plants, trust me, keeping about five dozen different houseplants alive is no joke 😅. And of course love working on challenging new projects. Got an interesting project to work on or want to hire me? Get in touch.

It takes a lot more than coding.

As much as I love coding, I enjoy as much exploring technologies of all kind that a great app would need. Too many to explain here but here are some highlights.

AWS & other cloud tech

Playing with terraform or cli, or just on console, I have it covered. Deploying from kube, ECS, EC2 or anything else, not a problem. From simple mySQL tables to noSQL or neptune graph db, I got it.

Tracking

An app just built and shipped is not worth anything until we observe how its performing. No matter if Im using New Relic or adobe analysis or mixPanel, Ill make sure to get those reports straight. All that combined with insights on google search console, together, we will leave no stone unturned in making sure our app performs to the fullest.

SEO

Building a page does not matter unless there are visits, and hence SEO matters. You might not see meta data or structured data on UI, but they play an important role in improving SEO for a page and hence bring page more visitors from search platforms.
