I build scalable software and cloud solutions that drive impact and efficiency. Specialized in full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and AI integration to deliver robust and intelligent systems. My passion lies in solving complex problems through innovative technology and continuous learning.
A curated showcase of recent engineering initiatives in software development and cloud infrastructure.
A production-grade, “Zero-Trust” event-driven architecture built with AWS CDK that processes file uploads privately and securely within isolated, endpoint-only infrastructure environments.
AWS CDK · AWS ECS Fargate · AWS RDS PostgreSQL · AWS SQS · AWS S3 · +5 more
“Architected a fully private ingestion pipeline using VPC Endpoints and ECS Fargate, enforcing 100% internal data flow with zero public internet ingress, egress, NAT, or bastion exposure.”
A production-grade Kubernetes blueprint on AWS with zero open ports, SSM-only access, and S3-backed observability — fully provisioned via Terraform and Ansible automation.
Terraform · AWS EC2 · AWS VPC · AWS IAM · AWS S3 · +11 more
“Deployed a 3-node Kubernetes cluster and standalone LGTM+P stack with zero-public-port security, eliminating all SSH exposure via AWS SSM Session Manager.”
A high-concurrency municipal ecosystem bridging public social interaction and government services, streamlining adoption workflows with real-time compliance and notifications.
Laravel (API) · MySQL (Aiven) · Pusher (WebSockets) · React Native (Expo) · Next.js (Admin) · +5 more
“Led full SDLC—from stakeholder discovery to deployment—implementing indexed search and RBAC enforcement to automate municipal registration workflows.”
