HTL graduate (IT & Cyber Security) with a strong focus on software engineering, cloud, and system resilience. Through Valiora and a self-administered three-node homelab, I work hands-on across full-stack development, infrastructure as code, and AI. I combine coding with real cloud and networking architecture.
