👋 Hi there, I'm Dean "Loftwah" Lofts!

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer, tech enthusiast, and music producer with a passion for building efficient, scalable cloud infrastructures and creating impactful products. With expertise in AWS, Docker, Ruby, and Golang, I specialize in automation and optimization solutions for modern tech stacks. I'm all about solving complex technical challenges while driving innovation in cloud architecture.

My journey in tech is fueled by curiosity and a drive to push boundaries. I've recently tackled projects like getting a legacy Rails application production-ready on ECS with Fargate—a challenge that took me two and a half years to master, but now I can accomplish in days. This journey has honed my skills and deepened my understanding of DevOps and software development.

I'm also the creator of Linkarooie, an open-source alternative to Linktree that empowers users to manage their online presence effortlessly, and the co-founder of Echosight, a social media analytics platform providing in-depth insights for users.

When I'm not immersed in tech, you'll find me producing music as Loftwah The Beatsmiff, collaborating with artists like Grind Mode Cypher and OptiMystic MC. Music is my creative outlet, allowing me to blend technical expertise with artistic expression.

In my downtime, I enjoy exploring emerging technologies, spending quality time with my family, and staying active through cycling and swimming. I'm always on the lookout for new ideas, whether it's diving into AI, experimenting with automation, or embarking on innovative projects that challenge the status quo.
