I build full-stack apps with .NET and React, deploy them with Docker and Kubernetes, and manage infrastructure on Azure. Self-taught, AZ-900 certified, and looking for my first engineering role.

About

How I
got here.

I started coding on October 7th, 2025. In under five months, I went from writing my first HTML to deploying a containerized full-stack app on Azure Kubernetes Service with a CI/CD pipeline, automated E2E testing, and cloud infrastructure provisioned through Terraform.

Most people take a few years to get here. I got there faster because I was building real things every single day, not following along with tutorials. Everything on this site is something I actually built and shipped.

I like understanding the whole picture. I've worked across every layer of the stack: React components, .NET APIs, PostgreSQL, Docker containers, Kubernetes clusters, Azure cloud resources. I've debugged all of it and I know how the pieces connect.

I passed the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification in April 2026. Currently seeking my first engineering role where I can contribute from day one and keep growing.

Featured Project

Task App

Production Full-Stack Task Management System

Built from scratch: React frontend, .NET Core REST API, PostgreSQL database. Containerized with Docker, orchestrated with Kubernetes, deployed through a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. Later migrated from Azure AKS to Vercel + Render to keep a live production deployment running at zero cost.

Key Engineering Work
  • Noticed unusual activity on the live deployment — XSS attempts and request flooding. Hardened the API with input validation, a 30 req/min rate limiter, and a 100 KB request body cap
  • Added authentication using ASP.NET Core Identity with JWT bearer tokens and Google & GitHub OAuth. Every task is scoped to the authenticated user with server-side ownership enforcement
  • Migrated from Azure AKS to Vercel (frontend) + Render (API + PostgreSQL) for a zero-cost live deployment
  • Designed multi-container microservices architecture with Docker Compose
  • 6+ Cypress E2E test suites: create, delete, check, uncheck, persistence, error-handling
  • Isolated test database environment using a custom Cypress plugin, zero test contamination
  • Kubernetes liveness and readiness probes for zero-downtime deployments
  • NGINX Ingress with path-based routing across multiple services
  • Azure Container Registry with managed identity, no hardcoded credentials
  • Full CI/CD: code commit → Docker build → ACR push → AKS deploy
  • Debugged and resolved AKS VM quota limits and subscription namespace issues
  • Provisioned Azure Blob Storage + DNS Zone via Terraform IaC

Let's build
something.

I'm looking for my first engineering role, full-time or contract. I learn fast and I've got the projects to back it up. Let's talk.
