As a seasoned Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience, I have established myself as an expert in developing, deploying, and maintaining distributed systems in the cloud. My deep expertise in full-stack development and cloud engineering has enabled me to design and scale complex systems, serving millions of users globally.

I am passionate about staying current with the latest industry trends, tools, and technologies, continuously honing my skills and knowledge. I take pride in serving as a mentor to other developers, leveraging my extensive experience to guide and support their growth and career development. My unique focus on GitHub Actions has given me an unparalleled perspective on the intersection of development, DevOps, and SRE, which I can leverage to help others navigate these areas successfully.

As a seasoned consultant, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse set of clients and industries, honing my skills in problem-solving, communication, and project management. I prioritize listening to clients' needs, communicating effectively, and delivering high-quality results on time and within budget.

In addition to my extensive experience, I am a Google Developers Expert, having delivered talks and training sessions at conferences worldwide - and I hold a number of certifications from Google Cloud and other providers. My ability to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences and provide valuable insights on navigating the rapidly evolving tech landscape is unparalleled.

I am the founder of firstissue.dev, an initiative dedicated to helping developers make their first or next open-source contribution. Through this initiative, I aim to give back to the community and support fellow developers in their journey towards contributing to open-source projects. By providing resources and guidance on how to get started with open-source contributions, I am empowering developers to make a positive impact on the wider tech community.

As a mentor, I take a personalized approach, helping my mentees develop a plan for their career development by identifying their strengths, weaknesses, and interests. Together, we set achievable goals and create a roadmap for achieving those goals. I provide guidance on how to improve their coding skills, software design, and best practices for cloud infrastructure. With my support, mentees gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in their careers as software developers.
