Hi! I'm Asyl, a software engineer
& cloud technologies enthusiast.
Welcome to my personal website where you can find
almost everything about me and my professional experience.
About Me
I have over 13 years of experience in software development and related job positions. My career began as a software engineer at a startup company, transitioned into teaching and lecturing at a university while doing my post-graduate degrees, and then I returned to software engineering.
In 2015, I moved to the UK to pursue a PhD in Computer Science at Lancaster University. My research focused on applying model-driven engineering techniques to simplify the implementation of multi-tenancy at the data layer. As part of my research, I developed a graphical domain-specific modeling language designed to model and evolve multi-tenant data architectures, supporting various types of cloud storage.
I am a collaborative, outgoing, and dedicated individual with an open-minded approach. I’m passionate about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and learning new languages. I connect easily with people and adapt well to change. I'm committed to continuous growth, always seeking to develop my professional skills and learn new concepts. My areas of interest include software engineering, test-driven development, agile methodologies, cloud computing, DevOps, IoT, and model-driven engineering.
For the past few years, I have been leading teams to deliver software with the React/Typescript app in the front end and Spring Boot microservices in the back-end deployed as k8s clusters in the GCP.
