Who am I ?

Data DevOps / Sprinter / Gamer

Hi there!

I'm Andrea, an AI Masters Graduate with a side of Game Design & Development Degree.

I'm a Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), currently focusing on platform engineering and automation.

Beyond contributing to the academic field, I am a dedicated athlete who has earned national recognition.

In the rare instances when I'm not circling the track, you'll find me gaming away, competing in online tournaments, and staying in the loop with industry trends.

Let's connect the dots between tech, games, and a touch of athleticism!
