Cloud & DevOps · Patras, Greece

I build and automate infrastructure. Right now that means containers, Linux and CI/CD pipelines, and learning Azure and Terraform properly rather than quickly. Final-year Information Systems student at the University of Patras, graduating June 2027 and looking for a junior cloud or DevOps role.

Projects

Multi-container web app with Redis caching

shipped

Docker · Docker Compose · Python/Flask · Redis · GitHub Actions

A two-tier web API — Flask application backed by Redis as an in-memory store — orchestrated with Docker Compose. Built on an Alpine base image to keep size and attack surface small, with a GitHub Actions pipeline that builds and tests the image on every push so a broken build never reaches main.

Azure infrastructure as code

in progress

Terraform · Microsoft Azure · GitHub Actions

Provisioning a complete Azure environment from code — resource group, virtual network with segmented subnets, network security groups, a virtual machine and Key Vault — with Terraform state held remotely in an Azure Storage Account so changes are safe to make repeatedly.

The pipeline runs plan on every pull request andapply on merge, authenticating to Azure through OIDC federation instead of a stored secret.

Where this is going

Cloud engineering first, then security. You cannot secure infrastructure you do not know how to build — so I am learning to build it properly before I try to defend it.
