At P&G, I work on building its first GraphQL APIs. Personally, I enjoy starting up entrepreneurial, tech projects, and working on products with a focus on UX from conceptualization until realization.My day job consists of designing cloud architecture, interacting with databases, writing APIs and Serverless functions that run in Microsoft Azure. On off-hours, I like building digital products end-to-end, and currently maintain a website called Keepsake, a platform dedicated to writing meaningful letters. I also love to experiment with the Internet of Things and have a goal of automating everything that can be automated – starting with things in my home.When I'm not working, you’d probably catch me binging TV shows, producing music, dancing, playing tennis, or trying to start a YouTube channel.I have experience in the following fields, but of course, I'm still continuously learning:𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀:• Django (Python), PostgreSQL, DRF, Celery• Next.js (React, TypeScript, Node.js), TypeORM, PostgreSQL, GraphQL• Wordpress (PHP), MySQL• Serverless (AWS Lambda/Azure Functions), MS SQL𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 (𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲): TypeScript/JavaScript ES6+, Python, PHP, C, Java, C#, SQL𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵: HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, Material, Bulma, JQuery𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 & 𝗗𝗲𝘃 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀: AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, Heroku, Vercel, Docker, Git𝗨𝗫/𝗨𝗜 & 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: Adobe XD, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, InDesign𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Cakewalk Sonar, FL Studio𝗥𝗣𝗔: BluePrism𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Python Scrapy, Azure Data Factory, PowerBI𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗜𝗼𝗧: Micro-controllers (Arduino, ESP8266), Home Assistant, Node-RED, MQTT, Verilog (HDL), ASM...𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘔𝘚 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦.
