About Me

The Short Story

I am a Cloud Architect with over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, always committed to delivering quality work. I have clients locally and internationally, many of whom I've never met in person. Some have been with me since the beginning of my career. My guarantee is always a 100% refund if you are not satisfied with my work. I began my career as a freelance web designer, focusing on front-end and design. Over the years, I have shifted my focus to backend technologies, API management, and cloud architecture. If you want to see my work, check out my code samples on GitHub.

How I Started Programming - TLDR;

My journey in tech began with a passion for design and art, which led me to web development. Early on, I focused on front-end design, but as the industry evolved, so did my interests. A pivotal moment in my career was when I transitioned from traditional web development to cloud-based solutions. Starting with simple PHP applications, I gradually embraced the power of cloud technologies like Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.

My first steps involved developing custom WordPress themes and plugins, which eventually led me to explore backend development. This transition was challenging but rewarding, as I learned the intricacies of scalable architecture and secure API development.

Over time, I mastered various cloud platforms, leveraging their capabilities to build robust, distributed systems. Working with AWS, I implemented serverless architectures using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, which revolutionized my approach to scalable and cost-effective solutions.

My exploration didn't stop there. I adopted NodeJS and found its asynchronous nature perfect for building microservices. Pairing NodeJS with cloud technologies like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Pub/Sub, I created event-driven architectures that scaled effortlessly under load.

TypeScript became a game-changer, allowing me to write clean, maintainable code across these cloud environments. Now, my projects frequently involve integrating ExpressJS with cloud-native services, ensuring they are optimized for performance, security, and scalability.

Today, I focus on designing and deploying cloud-native applications that harness the full potential of the cloud. Whether it’s building containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes or setting up CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Azure DevOps, my work is centered on delivering solutions that are reliable, scalable, and future-proof.
