Software Engineer 👨🏽‍💻 | Cloud Native Engineer ☁️ | Thinker ⎈

I'm Denis, a software engineer working mainly on cloud-native and distributed systems. I spend my time building and maintaining backend services, improving delivery pipelines, and helping teams adopt practical DevSecOps practices.

I share lessons learned through talks, writing, and open-source projects, and I try to approach engineering with pragmatism, curiosity, and a focus on long-term maintainability.
