droffilc1 - Overview

👋 Hi, I am Clifford Mapesa

I’m a DevOps Engineer focused on building reliable, automated, and cloud-native delivery systems.
My background in Backend Engineering (Python/Django, TypeScript/Nest, C#/ASP.NET Core) enables me to bridge the gap between development and operations—designing automation that meets real application needs.
