Hi there 👋, I am Irena Popova. I am a passionate Fullstack Web Developer, Linguist, Teacher & tech writer who likes listening to music while coding. Loves to create captivating user experiences using the latest and widely used technologies.
Welcome to my Github page.
Currently working focus is on: 👩🏻💻 DevOps Focused This project is more than just a React tool — react-impact reflects my broader goal as a DevOps-oriented Full-Stack engineer: to make software development pipelines transparent, reproducible, and efficient. With this project, I demonstrate how to analyze React applications, automate builds and deployments, and create reliable Docker-based environments, while integrating observability and monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenSearch. I also leverage Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps workflows, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth, scalable, and maintainable deployments.
My mission is to bridge the gap between development and operations, enabling teams to deliver high-quality, robust, and user-friendly software. This repository showcases my practical approach to modern DevOps practices, containerization, infrastructure automation, and end-to-end system reliability, providing a real-world example of how to implement efficient, production-ready workflows. This repository showcases my practical approach to modern DevOps practices, containerization, infrastructure automation, and end-to-end system reliability, while also highlighting my full-stack expertise from React frontends to Node/Python backends.
My personal blog, irenapopova.com, is where I share my journey as a Full-Stack and DevOps engineer, including hands-on projects, coding experiments, teaching and insights into modern software development practices. From building React frontends to implementing backend services in Node.js and Python, and exploring CI/CD, containerization, and observability tools, my blog showcases how I turn ideas into efficient, scalable, and maintainable software. It’s a space to explore my approach to solving real-world challenges, learning new technologies, and continuously improving as a developer.
