About
Sikal
I'm a software engineer based in London, working across frontend systems, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps — with a growing focus on AI-assisted development.
Most of my day-to-day work is building production frontend systems with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, backed by cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform and AWS. I work with Kubernetes, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines to keep things running and shipping reliably.
This site is where I write about what I'm learning and building. The notes cover software engineering practices, DevOps, infrastructure, and how I use AI tools in my development workflow.
I believe in writing that's direct and useful — notes that help someone solve a real problem or understand a concept clearly, rather than content written for its own sake.
