👋 About Me#
I’m a software engineer building cloud and distributed systems. I’ve worked on AWS Backup, open-source Kubernetes tooling, and an AI-assisted therapy platform for children with autism.
Beyond technology, I’m passionate about football, comedy, and productivity books — they keep me creative and balanced.
💭 Philosophy#
“Technology is not about complexity — it’s about compassion.”
I believe empathy is one of the most important engineering skills.
I follow the principle of divide et impera — divide a big challenge into smaller ones, then conquer each with patience and purpose.
That mindset has guided me through code, leadership, and life itself.

High School
Where ambition found direction
NIS shaped my mindset through early exposure to science, leadership, and creativity. It was here I discovered how coding connects logic with imagination.Internet Café Business
Age 14–21
7 years of early work experience
At 14, after my father passed away, I began helping manage our family’s internet café — and continued doing so for 7 years. It became both my first business and my first classroom. There I learned responsibility, customer service, and problem-solving through real people’s needs. That experience taught me that technology truly matters when it helps others.
⚽ Beyond Code#
When I’m not building or researching, I’m often:
- Watching or playing football (I analyze passes like algorithms)
- Reading productivity or psychology books
- Laughing at good comedy — because humor keeps creativity alive
I share my story not to show what I’ve achieved, but to pass along what I’ve learned —
so others can conquer their own quests, one level at a time.
