◢ ABOUT_SYSTEM ◣

As a dedicated software engineering student at 1337 Coding School, I specialize in backend development, RESTful APIs, and DevOps workflows. I'm skilled in working with relational and NoSQL databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.

I design and deploy microservice-based architectures using Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and a focus on lightweight, scalable solutions. I value system observability and use tools like the ELK Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana to monitor performance and reliability.

Comfortable in Linux environments, I work confidently with the command line and containerized deployments. My training in a project-driven, peer-learning ecosystem has sharpened my ability to deliver clean, efficient, and production-ready systems under real-world constraints.
