Comfortable across the full SDLC, Sammy pairs deep Java core skills (multithreading, collections, OOP) with practical DevOps work: CI/CD, IaC, VPCs, and Lambda-driven automation. He also brings domain experience in public-sector and supply-chain solutions, having delivered real-time tracking for fertilizer distribution and streaming features for electoral systems. Always exploring new stacks, he complements his Java expertise with Python/Django curiosity and hands-on SSO/OAuth integrations that improve security and user experience.
