About me

Hello, there! I'm Victor-Laurentiu Stanescu, calling me just Victor will do 🙂.

I'm:

• a software engineer, focused on automation & security
• currently activating in DevSecOps and working with public cloud (Amazon Web Services mainly)
• interested in solutions architecting, my top 3 pillars from the AWS Well-Archicted Framework are:
  Operational Excellence, Security, and Reliability
• a passionately curious person. I like to know how things work, not just how to use them.
  Eg. I can probably bore you to death with inner workings for a car
  Nonetheless, I found out that this brings me an advantage in the tech field, knowing how things actually work
  helps when troubleshooting weird errors on high-level tools

Non-technical persona:

• 🏎 cars & motorsport - incurable petrolhead & F1 fan
• 🧗🏼‍♂️ trekker in the warm season; 🏂 snowboarder in the cold one
• ☕️ coffee aficionado
• 🐕 dog lover (and dad)
