I'm an early-career engineer focused on cloud infrastructure and automation. I build projects to understand how systems are deployed, secured, and operated, then document what worked and what did not.

About

I completed Google’s Cloud graduate programme at Globant and earned the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer certification. My current work focuses on infrastructure as code, configuration management, delivery automation, and practical Linux operations.

I use this portfolio to document projects honestly, including what is finished, what is still being built, and what I would improve next.
