Giannis Kounelis
Junior Cloud / DevOps / Full-Stack Engineer

I design, build, and deploy cloud-native applications end-to-end — from TypeScript / Python backends to AWS infrastructure provisioned with Terraform.

About Me

Computer Science graduate (BSc Hons) and self-driven builder of cloud-native software. I work across the full delivery lifecycle: backends in TypeScript / Node.js / Python / Java, frontends in React / Next.js, PostgreSQL data layers, AWS infrastructure provisioned via Terraform, containers with Docker / Kubernetes, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions. I care about observability, security, and shipping production-grade software — even on personal projects.
