About Me

As a Tech Lead and technical expert, I help companies design innovative cloud solutions, optimize their CI/CD pipelines, and reduce infrastructure costs while ensuring performance and reliability.

Expert in Java/Kotlin, AWS, Terraform, and DevOps, I focus on building scalable and maintainable APIs while integrating modern approaches like ephemeral environments, mutation testing, and advanced deployment automation.

My mission: combine technical excellence with business value. This involves rigorous application of clean code principles, respect for best practices (SOLID, design patterns), and knowledge sharing to elevate team technical capabilities.

Innovation Highlight: Designed and developed an AI-powered booking assistant based on MCP servers, orchestrating Accor API calls and integrating with LLMs to enable hotel reservations through conversational interactions.
