Hi, my name is

Daniar Tabys

I build reliable backend systems and secure cloud infrastructure.

About

Software engineering team lead with 8+ years of experience building backend services, cloud infrastructure, and data platforms — including two years at Amazon Web Services. I lead teams, own service architecture, drive security and compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2), and ship scalable systems in Python (Django) and Java (Spring Boot) on AWS.
