ABOUT

Engineering depth with operational ownership.

My work spans the full system lifecycle: product delivery, website and application development, backend APIs, infrastructure, automation, deployment, observability and continuous improvement.

What I bring

Hands-on delivery across cloud and on-premise environments, with experience building websites, backend services, enterprise applications, mobile solutions, CI/CD platforms and resolving difficult production issues.

Current direction

Applying AI to engineering workflows: automated testing, image/audio analysis, DevOps agents, log intelligence, RAG and operational decision support.

How I work

Practical architecture, measurable automation, agile delivery discipline and a bias toward solutions that teams can actually operate, govern and extend.

SELECTED PROJECTS

Systems built to solve real operational problems.

01
AIRaspberry PiPythonPostgreSQL

AI-enabled end-to-end testing framework

Built a Raspberry Pi master application with state/event/action management to orchestrate hardware, emulate touch interaction, capture camera and audio data, compare results using OpenCV/SSIM and AI models, store outcomes in PostgreSQL and surface feedback through a portal and observability stack.

  • Configurable test cases without source-code changes
  • Hardware control, image/audio capture and analysis
  • Email / chat alerts and Grafana monitoring
02
AWSEKSTerraformHelm

AWS EKS application platform

Provisioned Kubernetes environments on AWS, deployed a Spring Boot POS application with MySQL, configured Helm charts, ALB ingress, DNS and observability, and automated infrastructure lifecycle using Terraform.

03
GitHub ActionsS3IoT

Firmware OTA delivery pipeline

Automated firmware build, artifact upload to Amazon S3 and metadata delivery to the backend so connected devices can securely retrieve and apply OTA updates.

04
JenkinsGitLab CISonarQube

CI/CD platform modernization

Migrated and redesigned pipelines across Jenkins and GitLab CI with build, unit-test, quality-gate, packaging, container and deployment stages to improve traceability and maintainability.

05
XCP-ngVirtualizationAutomation

VMware to XCP-ng evaluation & migration

Evaluated XCP-ng/XOA as a lower-cost virtualization platform, covering golden images, provisioning, GPU passthrough testing, automation and migration planning.

06
Event-drivenReal-time systemsTelcoBackend

Large-scale real-time event processing architecture

Designed and developed sophisticated stateful and stateless event-processing applications for large-scale, high-redundancy, parallel and persistent real-time systems, including telecom SMS, USSD and SIP call flows, with central event correlation and classifier logic for reliable decisioning under continuous load.

EXPERIENCE

A career across software, systems, infrastructure and cloud.

Now

DevOps, cloud & AI automation

CI/CD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, AI-assisted testing, monitoring and infrastructure automation.
