About

Production-minded engineer with a reliability-first workflow.

I support large-scale, mission-critical applications by planning releases, validating deployments, monitoring production behavior, and troubleshooting issues under real operational pressure. My work sits at the intersection of platform operations, automation, observability, and cloud infrastructure.

I like systems that are boring in the best way: repeatable, observable, documented, and protected by tests and automation. This portfolio is also a live project, backed by AWS serverless infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring, security scanning, signed commits, SBOM generation, and Lambda code signing.

Cloud Resume Project

AWS, Terraform, Serverless Architecture, CI/CD, Supply Chain Security

A production-style serverless portfolio deployed with AWS S3, CloudFront, Route 53, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, ACM, CloudWatch, SNS, PagerDuty, Terraform remote state, and an AI assistant for answering questions about my background and projects.

  • Built a Python Lambda API with DynamoDB-backed visitor tracking and a JavaScript frontend integration.
  • Added an AI portfolio chatbot using a Python Lambda, API Gateway POST route, OpenAI Responses API, and a curated knowledge base with local fallback answers.
  • Automated infrastructure and site delivery with GitHub Actions, Terraform, signed Lambda artifacts, CloudFront invalidations, pytest, and Cypress.
  • Added signed commit enforcement, CodeQL code scanning, Syft SBOM generation, Grype vulnerability scanning, and AWS Lambda code signing.
  • Designed a staged delivery workflow with PR test environments, production approval gates, and automated test-environment cleanup.
  • Integrated CloudWatch alarms, SNS notifications, and PagerDuty incident routing for operational visibility.

Secure Delivery & AI Chatbot Upgrade

OpenAI, Lambda, CodeQL, SBOM, Grype, AWS Signer, GitHub Actions

Extended the portfolio into a more complete DevOps showcase by adding an AI question-answering assistant, supply-chain security checks, signed artifacts, and multi-stage deployment controls.

  • Created a chatbot Lambda that answers questions from a resume-backed knowledge base and calls OpenAI when quota is available.
  • Generated SBOMs for backend artifacts with Syft and scanned dependencies with Grype to catch high-severity vulnerabilities.
  • Protected releases with GPG signed commits, GitHub status checks, AWS Lambda code signing, and manual production approval.
  • Built PR-based test environments so infrastructure and end-to-end checks can run before production deployment.

Infrastructure & CI/CD Pipeline

AWS, EKS, Terraform, Docker, Helm, GitHub Actions

Designed an end-to-end CI/CD workflow for a microservices-based application deployed on AWS EKS, using Terraform for cloud infrastructure, Docker for containerization, and Helm for Kubernetes releases.

  • Provisioned infrastructure with validation stages for safer deployments.
  • Automated build, test, and deployment workflows to reduce manual release effort.
  • Integrated SonarCloud static analysis to improve code quality and reliability.
