Hi, I'm Gerlie 👋
Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in modern web applications. I build scalable, production-ready systems with a focus on performance and reliability.
About
I’m a full-stack software engineer focused on building production-ready web and application systems using Next.js, Python, and Laravel. I work across modern web apps, mobile solutions, and platform features with an emphasis on performance, maintainability, and shipping real value. Alongside my core development work, I’ve been actively exploring cloud security and AI-driven security practices, particularly how AI can enhance threat detection, automate security workflows, and support secure-by-design development. I move fast from concept to implementation, keeping development practical while steadily deepening my security and AI knowledge to build more resilient systems.
