Hello, I'm Zamil. I'm a Software Developer and Data Engineer. I enjoy working with servers, analyzing data, and backend development.
About Me
I hold a BSc in Computer Science and Physics, with a diploma in Electronics Engineering. My professional experience includes a data engineering internship, where I honed my skills in backend development, ETL operations, and data analysis, using foundational AI techniques. Additionally, I have a background in electronics engineering, where I designed and assembled PCBs, programmed microcontrollers, and developed test automation solutions. My primary technical focus lies in Python, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and AI/Machine Learning, where I continue to develop my expertise in building efficient and scalable solutions.
Beyond my professional life, I manage a home server running a suite of containerized services, including a media server, personal cloud storage, photo library, VPN, and network-wide ad-blocker, all powered by Docker. When I'm not immersed in tech, I enjoy reading fantasy novels—currently captivated by the Stormlight Archive series—and spend my free time playing narrative-driven video games and badminton.
