This portfolio site itself, provisioned end-to-end as Infrastructure as Code. Static site hosted in S3 and delivered globally through CloudFront, with Route 53 DNS, ACM for HTTPS, and AWS WAF in front for security controls. Resources were originally created in the AWS Console and later imported into Terraform state for full version-controlled management.

A serverless inventory management app provisioned entirely in Terraform. A React frontend on AWS Amplify (with GitHub CI/CD) talks to an HTTP API Gateway, which routes to four Lambda functions sharing a common Lambda Layer for DynamoDB access. IAM roles are scoped to least privilege per function.

Secure application architecture on AWS built around the Well-Architected Framework's Security Pillar. Deployed primarily with Terraform, with targeted Console edits for validation, across a layered VPC with a public ALB behind AWS WAF, private EC2 app tier, RDS database, and a Bastion Host for controlled admin access.

An event-driven ChatOps pipeline that brings AWS monitoring and remediation directly into Slack. CloudWatch alarms publish to SNS, which triggers a Lambda function that formats and delivers alerts through AWS Chatbot — turning Slack into the primary operational interface. A supplementary dashboard is deployed via CloudFormation.

A generative-AI task scheduling app built on Amazon PartyRock (powered by Amazon Bedrock foundation models). Helps organize and prioritize daily tasks through a simple, AI-assisted interface — no infrastructure to manage.
