About
I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Canberra and a self-driven Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer with a deep focus on building robust backend systems and distributed infrastructure using Go. I gravitate toward the intersection of systems programming and cloud-native tooling — the place where code meets metal.
I'm actively building real-world expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform, and observability pipelines. I believe great infrastructure is invisible — it just works, scales, and recovers gracefully.
When I'm not crafting Go services or wrangling Arch Linux configurations, I explore geopolitics, sci-fi (Dune is a masterclass), and the occasional fitness grind.
