Nicolas Andrea Almy - Software Engineer

📄 About Me

I’m a passionate Software Engineer with a strong focus on building efficient, scalable, and maintainable systems.
I have advanced experience in Python, Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript, complemented by intermediate proficiency in C++, Nim, Scala, Groovy, Kotlin, and PHP.
My diverse language background allows me to adapt quickly to different technologies and project requirements.

I thrive in agile environments, with extensive hands-on experience using Scrum and Kanban methodologies to deliver high-quality software efficiently.

On the DevOps side, I’m well-versed in Docker and Docker Compose, and experienced in deploying and managing applications on Hetzner Cloud, DigitalOcean, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
I also have working knowledge of Kubernetes, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, and Terraform, enabling me to bridge the gap between development and operations seamlessly.

I’m always eager to learn, explore new technologies, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in software engineering.

📚 Hobbies & Passions

I’m passionate about staying active and exploring both the outdoors and the digital world. I enjoy swimming, bouldering, mountaineering, and biking — activities that keep me connected to nature and constantly challenge my limits. Beyond that, I love programming and reading, which let me exercise my curiosity and creativity in a different way.

I also have a deep love for traveling and discovering new places. Few things inspire me more than standing before breathtaking mountain views, where the world feels vast, peaceful, and full of possibility.
