Software Engineer Building Systems from Application to Cloud

I build backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and cross-platform applications.

My primary focus is backend engineering and Google Cloud, with a strong interest in distributed systems, reliability, and modern cloud architecture. I also build applications with Flutter, giving me the ability to work across the stack from user-facing products to the infrastructure behind them.

My background in Cloud and DevOps shapes how I approach software engineering: I care not only about writing code that works, but also about how that code is deployed, observed, scaled, secured, and operated in production.

I'm particularly interested in Google Cloud, containers, serverless platforms, platform engineering, and modern and enterprise infrastructure.

Beyond building software, I enjoy sharing what I learn through technical writing, projects, and technical talks.

What I'm Exploring

  • Backend Engineering — APIs, distributed systems, databases, and scalable services
  • Google Cloud — Cloud Run, GKE, serverless architectures, and cloud-native development
  • Modern Infrastructure — Containers, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and platform engineering
  • Enterprise Infrastructure — Modernization, reliability, scalability, and cloud architecture
  • Flutter — Building cross-platform applications and end-to-end products
  • Site Reliability — Observability, automation, resilience, and production engineering

Knowledge Sharing

I enjoy turning engineering concepts into practical projects and technical content.

  • ✍️ Technical writing: blog.lxmwaniky.me
  • 🎤 Technical talks: Google Cloud, modern infrastructure, cloud architecture, and software engineering
  • 🛠️ Projects: Building and documenting what I learn
