These projects are built to demonstrate how I approach cloud engineering end to end: design the architecture, provision infrastructure, containerize or serverlessly deploy the application, automate delivery, secure the environment, and troubleshoot the system when something breaks.
MediCare Hub — Highly Available AWS Infrastructure
Rebuilt a medical website reliability lab as repeatable AWS infrastructure using Terraform. Designed a two-Availability-Zone VPC with private EC2 application instances behind an Application Load Balancer, health checks, and an Auto Scaling Group. Automated Apache setup with EC2 UserData, integrated Amazon EFS shared web storage, and launched a second instance by updating desired capacity. The documented architecture also explores optional private RDS MySQL Multi-AZ, Route 53/S3 backup-page failover, and CloudWatch alarms; these are infrastructure exercises rather than a production healthcare application.

ShopVerse — Cloud-Native 3-Tier E-Commerce Platform
Production-ready 3-tier e-commerce application built with React, Go (Fiber), and MySQL and deployed on Amazon EKS. The environment uses Docker, Amazon ECR, Helm, Traefik, Route 53, ACM TLS, Kubernetes service discovery, persistent MySQL storage, and a GitHub Actions pipeline that tests, scans container images with Trivy, builds and pushes images, and deploys to EKS. To reduce ongoing AWS costs, the compute environment is intentionally powered down when not being demonstrated and can be brought back online for interviews, walkthroughs, and technical showcases.

m1portfolio.com — This Site, Built & Deployed in Terraform
The infrastructure behind this portfolio, managed with Terraform. The site is hosted on Amazon S3 and delivered through CloudFront, with Route 53 DNS, ACM HTTPS, and AWS WAF security controls. Resources that were originally created in the AWS Console were imported into Terraform state so the environment could be managed and version-controlled as Infrastructure as Code.

Coffee Shop Manager — Serverless CRUD App
Serverless CRUD inventory application built on AWS with Terraform. A React frontend hosted on AWS Amplify uses GitHub CI/CD and calls an HTTP API Gateway backed by Lambda functions and DynamoDB. The API supports create, read, update, and delete operations, with shared Lambda Layer logic and least-privilege IAM roles.

SecureCart — Secure App Deployment (Security Pillar)
Security-focused 3-tier AWS architecture based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework Security Pillar. Terraform provisions a layered VPC with a public Application Load Balancer protected by AWS WAF, private EC2 application servers, private RDS, scoped security groups, a NAT Gateway for controlled outbound access, and a Bastion Host for administration.
