Since the age of 12, I've been immersed in the realm of software and cloud technologies. From scripting video game features to managing and deploying my own servers through hosts, my enduring passion and curiosity have been the driving force behind my growth as an engineer and architect, nowadays you can find me doing pretty much the same thing but on a better and higher level. 😎
