Cloud-Native Platforms

Distributed Systems • Kubernetes • DevSecOps

I specialize in building mission-critical platform infrastructure, container orchestration architectures, and high-performance distributed microservices. With extensive experience across Financial Tech, Cloud Telecom/VoIP, and enterprise Kubernetes ecosystems, I leverage advanced agentic workflows—including Claude Code and Google Antigravity—to deliver secure, automated, zero-trust cloud foundations.
