What kind of projects do you typically work on?

I am a versatile professional with extensive experience in both Development Operations (DevOps) and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). My expertise encompasses cloud and on-premises infrastructure, process optimization, solution architecture, and full-stack development. I have a strong foundation in creating and deploying web applications, designing scalable infrastructure, and implementing automated deployment pipelines. I am committed to continuous learning and quickly adapt to new technologies and methodologies to enhance my skill set to deliver meaningful value.

How do you approach new projects?

I begin by establishing the project's scope and defining both functional and non-functional requirements. To organize and manage the work, I utilize Agile methodologies, particularly SCRUM, to structure the development process. I make extensive use of user stories to capture requirements from the client's perspective, ensuring that the work aligns closely with their needs and expectations. Additionally, I use Kanban boards to visually track progress, which helps both me and my clients stay informed about the project's status at any given time. Throughout the project, I actively involve the client, seeking their feedback regularly to ensure that the final product meets their expectations.

Can you work with a team, or do you prefer to work alone?

"A player that makes the team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, that's teamwork."
- Unknown.

I am equally comfortable working independently and as part of a team. I enjoy pair programming and thrive in collaborative environments. Throughout my career, I have been part of various teams, both in leadership and supporting roles, which has significantly influenced and shaped my approach to teamwork.

For infrastructure and configuration, I rely heavily on as-code approaches to ensure that the infrastructure and configurations are documented, customizable, and consistent. This methodology not only enhances efficiency and scalability but also reduces the risk of human error, making the entire process more reliable and maintainable.
