Hi
I am David
welcome to my digital resume

This is my AWS S3-hosted personal portfolio website, showcasing my experience and technical skills.

This site was created primarily as part of the AWS Cloud Resume Challenge — you can find more details in the blog section.

If you're interested in my other projects, feel free to check out my GitHub page.

about me

My background is primarily in Linux system administration, with a strong focus on SUSE Linux, the second-largest Linux distribution. Throughout my career, I have specialized in providing technical support and troubleshooting Linux-related issues while collaborating with IT departments of some of the world's largest companies. Currently, I am expanding my expertise in public cloud technologies and progressively advancing my skills in Terraform, Python scripting, and Kubernetes. Additionally, I have a keen interest in web development and automation, which has led me to develop what I believe to be an advanced ability in AI prompt optimization :-).
