Dawid Ferchow - FullStack Developer bridging applications and DevOps

Hi! My name is Dawid and I am a FullStack Developer who combines application development with DevOps, containerization, and deployment automation. I create and maintain business applications, internal systems, and the environments where these applications run.

In my work, I deal with both code and infrastructure — from developing applications in PHP and JavaScript, through Docker, k3s, Kubernetes, and FluxCD, to deployment using the GitOps approach.

This blog is an extension of my CV. Here, I describe my professional path, completed projects, new skills, and the things I work on after hours.
