+## bio
+Hi, my name is Paul. I\'m a DevOps Engineer with more than 5 years of experience creating and managing web
+applications and cloud computing infrastructures. I\'m acquainted with AWS and its Terraform provider, having used the
+latter in order to maintain solid code-bases (Infrastructure as Code), ensuring rapid deployment, iteration,
+redundancy and fallback of infrastructure. From endpoints (Gateway API) to load balancers (ELB) and auto-scaling (ASG),
+to serverless apps (using AWS Lambda), or Docker based tasks (ECS), I got you covered! AWS services I\'ve worked with
+and configured, include (but are not limited to): EC2, ECS (with and without Fargate), CloudWatch, Lambda, Gateway API,
+IAM (authentication/authorization for mid-sized teams), IoT, S3\.\.\. I\'ve also been in charge of deploying and
+managing Jenkins instances, for running CI/CD jobs, combining both in-house and remote servers (Jenkins EC2 plugin).
+
+Besides infra., I\'m an experienced full-stack web developer, knowing my way around popular Python and
+JavaScript frameworks (Django, Twisted, Flask, React, Vue). I also enjoy working on lower-level native applications, be
+it in Python (for wrappers and projects requiring quick iteration) and/or C, C++ and Haskell, for more
+performance-critical components.
+
+I know my way around the Linux operating system, having done a fair deal of shell scripting and usual management
+tasks. During my time in the robotics industry, I\'ve had the chance to work on kernel module modifications (to aid in
+hardware emulation) using C. I\'ve also worked extensively on debian packaging (.deb files) and maintaining of APT
+repositories for first-party packages (targeting Ubuntu and Debian).
+
+On a more personal note, I feel great curiosity towards subjects like Genetic Programming and Artificial Intelligence,
+and love playing with these topics in my spare time. Below I list a couple of hobby projects which explore these
+subjects, along others like Artificial Life, Reinforcement Learning and Neuroevolution.
