I am a software developer with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving. My background spans from modernizing legacy monoliths to designing distributed, event-driven architectures. I prioritize clean systems, efficient workflows, and understanding the architectural scope before writing a single line of code.

• Architecture & Systems: Designing distributed, event-driven microservices (Apache Kafka) and orchestrating environments with Docker Compose. Exploring orchestration at scale with Kubernetes (currently a beginner, actively learning).
• Legacy to Modern: Deep expertise in maintaining, refactoring, and migrating complex legacy monolithic codebases to modern standards.
• IoT & Data: Building robust simulated environments and system managers using MQTT, Node-RED, InfluxDB, and Grafana.
• AI & ML: Integrating ML workflows (Jupyter, Conda) and utilizing AI coding assistants (Gemini, Codeium, Claude) to optimize development cycles.
• Methodology: Strong advocate for functional containerization, system modeling, and learning by building.
