About Me

I am an aspiring IT professional particularly in the field of System Administration, Cloud, and DevOps. My professional background is mostly on the field of Real Estate and Aviation, but I do tinker with technology a lot as a hobby. Made projects that can showcase my skills and abilities in SysAd, Cloud, and DevOps. Since I was tinkering with tech at a very young age -used to supply psp iso games to my friends during 4th grade and played with the playstation portable’s firmware, started to troubleshoot and build computers during my second year of high school-, I can describe myself as tech savvy and can easily learn and understand complex technological software and terms. Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Docker
  • Ubuntu
  • Terraform
  • Ansible
  • Hugo
  • Git
  • Proxmox
  • AWS EC2
  • GitHub Actions
  • Bash
