What I Do

DevOps Engineering

I design and implement Gitlab CI pipelines that accelerate your development cycle by orders of magnitude.

Data Engineering

I design, implement and maintain data pipelines that connect your persistence layer with your machine learning models and customers with Apache Kafka and Apache Airflow.

Web Development

I build client-side, server-side or fullstack websites for any purpose and plan using JavaScript for the frontend and PHP, Java or Python for the backend. The more complex the more fun!

Data Science

I enjoy implementing machine learning models in Python and R to solve modern day-to-day problems. Particularly using Pytorch and Tensorflow to build image processing and NLP models!

Software Architecture

I love making detailed and easy to understand application diagrams that fully describe the components of the application architecture in relation to each other using LucidCharts.

Application Monitoring

I am an expert using Zabbix & Bash to efficiently monitor even the hardest-to-reach details of your application.

5+ years of experience
