About
I'm a cloud and DevOps focused engineer who likes owning the full path from an idea to something running in production: the cloud stack, the delivery pipeline, the automation that keeps it healthy, and the service itself.
Most recently I built and deployed a network-diagnostics platform combining a Raspberry Pi probe, a FastAPI backend and an Azure-hosted TimescaleDB, collecting over 1.2 million measurements during continuous real-world use. Before that I automated Hyper-V and VMware infrastructure at Intertech with Python, PowerShell and Ansible, and I contribute C#/.NET and Blazor code to IVAO's air-traffic-control client in my spare time.

Selected Projects
End-to-end network-diagnostics platform combining an unattended Raspberry Pi/Linux probe, an Azure-hosted FastAPI backend and a managed time-series database. Collected 1.2M+ measurements during continuous real-world deployment.
- Provisioned the cloud stack with Bicep and Docker - Azure App Service, Azure Database for PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, Blob Storage and controlled cloud reference infrastructure.
- Designed web, video, email and download workloads across local, controlled-cloud and real-world endpoints to attribute degradation to the WiFi link, upstream network or third-party service.
- Resilient unattended operation via systemd, SQLite store-and-forward buffering and retry/recovery logic; correctly attributed a real 40-minute upstream outage while local WiFi stayed healthy.
Mobile-first EV charging and trip tracker with a REST API, route mapping, multi-currency cost analysis and CSV/Excel export. Trip-efficiency calculations from odometer, battery-state and charging data, including usable-battery-capacity estimation and fallback logic for incomplete measurements.
Python data pipeline and mixed-integer optimisation model that selects representative electoral neighbourhoods and weights. Validated across five cities with <10% weighted absolute error in every reported test case.
