About meProduct-minded.
Product-minded.
Systems-driven.
I'm a final-year Computer Networks and Telecommunications engineering student at INSAT, specializing in backend engineering, Kubernetes platforms, and DevSecOps.
Across three internships and end-to-end engineering projects, I have built full-stack applications, automated secure delivery pipelines, and deployed observable cloud-native systems. IEEE leadership strengthened how I communicate constraints, coordinate teams, and deliver under pressure.
Seeking a 4–6 month End-of-Study Internship (PFE) starting in February or March 2027 in software engineering, platform engineering, cloud, DevSecOps, or backend/API systems. Open to international and remote opportunities.
01 / Expertise
What I build
The technical areas I connect to take software from an idea to a dependable running system.
02
Backend engineering
Designing secure REST APIs, service boundaries, and persistent data workflows.
03
DevSecOps
Automating testing, security validation, artifact delivery, and infrastructure changes.
04
API management
Governing API ecosystems through gateways, explicit contracts, identity, and access policy.
05
Observability
Turning metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerts into actionable operational feedback.
06
Networking
Applying protocol and infrastructure fundamentals to dependable distributed systems.
02 / Principles
How I work
The habits behind the systems I design, ship, and improve with a team.
01
End-to-end ownership
I stay with a system from architecture and implementation through deployment and runtime validation.
02
Systems thinking
I reason about boundaries, dependencies, and failure paths, not only isolated features.
03
Automation mindset
If a critical step is repeatable, I look for a reliable way to encode and automate it.
04
Security from the start
Identity, authorization, scanning, and policy belong in the design rather than at the end.
05
Learning through implementation
I explore new engineering practices by building complete systems and testing the trade-offs.
06
Clear team coordination
IEEE leadership taught me to align people, communicate constraints, and deliver under event pressure.
