About Me

Backend Engineer.
Cloud Builder.

I'm a backend and cloud developer with 3+ years of experience building scalable APIs, AWS serverless backends, and DevOps automation pipelines.

At ICOMMUNIX, I design intelligent IVR systems with Amazon Connect, Lambda, and DynamoDB — focusing on reliability, observability with CloudWatch, and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform.

Passionate about continuous learning and currently expanding in AWS Connect, DevOps automation, and real-time applications.
