About Me

I'm a software engineer who is curious about every new things. My motto is "Keep Blitz and Be Simple" - I always try to be simple and efficient in my approach to problem-solving.

I specialize in MLOps platform development, DevOps engineering, and cloud-native technologies. With extensive experience in operating large-scale systems, I've successfully managed over 2000 GPUs and built robust, scalable infrastructure solutions.
