An engineer driven by curiosity, persistence, and a passion for building systems.
I'm an engineer focused on backend software development, platform engineering, and cloud security. What excites me most is understanding how systems work end to end—from application code and databases to cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and security.
My Journey
My journey into technology began in 2018 while studying mechanical engineering. I started freelancing on Fiverr, building websites for paying customers using WordPress and Elementor Pro.
What began as a side project grew into several years of independent web development. I learned to work directly with customers, translate requirements into functional websites, solve problems independently, and take responsibility for delivering real projects.
In 2021, I moved to Canada to pursue my master's degree in engineering at the University of Windsor. Alongside my studies, I continued developing websites for small businesses through a partnership with a US-based collaborator.
Over time, my curiosity moved beyond web development. I wanted to understand how software actually works beneath the surface: how operating systems manage processes, how databases maintain consistency, how backend services communicate, how distributed systems recover from failures, and how cloud infrastructure supports applications at scale.
That curiosity led me deeper into computer science, programming, Linux, networking, AWS, Kubernetes, and security engineering.
I also founded Transivone, an independent cloud security consulting venture. Although the business did not progress to paying client engagements, the experience taught me valuable lessons about entrepreneurship, understanding customer needs, and the business side of technology.
Today, I'm pursuing a BS in Computer Science at Western Governors University and developing hands-on engineering projects that bring these interests together.
What I'm Building
My focus is on developing substantial engineering systems rather than collecting more certifications.
Backend & Distributed Systems: A functional backend application exploring API design, databases, concurrency, asynchronous processing, system reliability, and distributed architecture.
Secure Software Delivery: A DevSecOps platform integrating secrets detection, static analysis, infrastructure scanning, container security, software bills of materials, and artifact signing.
Cloud & Platform Engineering: Terraform-based AWS infrastructure and a hardened Kubernetes platform with automated delivery, security controls, and observability.
Cloud Security Engineering: A Go-based security graph system exploring cloud asset relationships, risk correlation, detection, and controlled remediation.
These projects are being developed incrementally, with an emphasis on understanding design decisions, testing, failure modes, and operational tradeoffs.
