💻 About Me

I started my journey as a freelancer, building projects for small businesses and personal clients. Over time, I expanded my skills and took on new challenges, leading me to work professionally in the tech industry.But beyond the lines of code and CI/CD pipelines, family means everything to me. Being a father has taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of continuous learning—both in life and in tech. 💙 I also love outdoor activities with my family and closest friends, whether it’s walking in nature or exploring new cultures and countries.
