BUI HOANG HA / DEVOPS & BACKEND ENGINEER

From code to cloud.
Built to keep running.

I build backend services and the workflows that keep them running.
Focused on AWS, deployment automation, and reliable operations.

I’m Bui Hoang Ha, also known online as Hadayxinchao. With 3+ years in backend engineering, I’m now focused on DevOps: containerized deployments, CI/CD, monitoring, and recovery workflows. My Rails and Django experience helps me connect application needs with cloud operations.
