About
I'm Gerind, a software engineer from Tirana, Albania.
Over five years I've designed, built and deployed web applications end to end: overhauling system architectures, writing high-concurrency APIs and automating delivery with CI/CD, with a DevOps mindset.
Outside of work I recharge by cycling, gaming and reading, which keeps me curious and brings a fresh perspective to problem-solving.
