About

I am a passionate engineer with a strong focus on automation. My journey began with a background in electrical and electronics engineering, and I’ve since cultivated a profound interest in the fascinating intersection of technology. Currently, I am dedicated to my role as a Software Engineer at GLG in London, England, United Kingdom.

But my life is not just about code and infrastructure. I am equally passionate about my role as a family man. I am happily married and a proud father of two wonderful children—a sweet girl and a spirited young boy. My family is my greatest source of joy and inspiration, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my life with them. Our home comes alive with warmth and joy, especially during the magical holiday season of Christmas, which we all look forward to with excitement and anticipation.

In addition to my professional pursuits and family life, I am fervently enthusiastic about technology in all its forms. My interests extend far and wide, covering topics such as cloud computing, automation, infrastructure development, and emerging technologies that hold the promise of making the world a better place.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • AWS
  • Azure
  • Terraform
  • Docker
  • Bash
  • Python
  • Github Actions
  • SQL
  • Javascript
  • Typescript
