Cloud Engineering

AWS Cloud Architecture & Migration

Building secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud infrastructures on Amazon Web Services using Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation & Terraform).

☁️ Kubernetes & Container Ops

Production EKS & ECS cluster deployment with auto-scaling, Prometheus monitoring, and secure Service Mesh (Istio) configuration.

🛡️ Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)

Fully reproducible cloud environments defined in declarative Terraform, enforcing VPC isolation, security group hardening, and IAM least privilege.

📝 CloudFormation & Native AWS IaC

Nested and cross-stack CloudFormation templates with drift detection and StackSets, for teams standardized on native AWS tooling over third-party IaC.

Core AWS Building Blocks

🖥️ Compute & Auto Scaling

EC2 fleets sized by Auto Scaling Groups, built from custom AMIs of a proven production master so new capacity comes online pre-configured and load-tested.

⚡ Serverless & APIs

Event-driven Lambda functions fronted by API Gateway — pay-per-request compute for workloads that don’t need an always-on server.

🌐 Content Delivery & DNS

S3-backed storage distributed globally through CloudFront, with Route 53 DNS management and ACM-issued TLS certificates.

🗄️ Managed Databases

RDS Aurora for high-throughput relational workloads across multiple Availability Zones, plus DynamoDB for low-latency NoSQL access patterns.

Security, Monitoring & Messaging

🔐 Networking & Access Control

VPC segmentation, Security Group hardening, and IAM least-privilege policies scoped down to the individual role and resource.

📈 Observability

CloudWatch metrics, logs, and alarm-driven alerting so degradation is caught and triaged before it becomes an outage.

🛡️ Perimeter Defense

WAF rules and Shield protection in front of API Gateway and CloudFront to filter malicious traffic and absorb DDoS attempts.

🔔 Event-Driven Messaging

SNS/SQS decoupling between services, so producers and consumers scale independently and a slow downstream step never blocks the request path.

Real-World Impact

SPAM Escudo — Eagna-Smart

Built for Eagna-Smart, SPAM Escudo’s three-phase spam-detection pipeline runs on AWS Lambda behind API Gateway, backed by an RDS PostgreSQL database extended with pgvector for embedding-similarity matching — a fully serverless architecture that scales with submission volume.

Cerberus ID — Aletheia Systems

Cerberus ID’s identity-verification scoring service runs on versioned AWS Lambda functions behind a CI/CD pipeline, so a misbehaving model update can be rolled back to the last known-good version in minutes, not hours.

CLEAN_Data Portal — Runner Technologies

Runner Technologies’ CLEAN_Data portal runs on EC2 behind an Auto Scaling Group provisioned from AMIs of the production master, so capacity grows and shrinks with load automatically. The backend runs on RDS Aurora replicated across multiple Availability Zones for resilience.
