PROJECTS

AI Image Description Web Application

Technologies: Fargate ECS ECR Bedrock DynamoDB S3 Route 53 GitHub Actions Docker Python

Built and deployed a full-stack, cloud-native image processing web application on AWS using S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and ECS Fargate — enabling user image uploads and dynamic content delivery through a scalable serverless and containerized architecture.

Implemented event-driven microservices with AWS Lambda for image processing and S3-triggered workflows, integrating Amazon Bedrock to generate and store AI-based image descriptions in DynamoDB.

Designed and automated production-grade infrastructure including VPC networking, Application Load Balancer, Route 53 routing, ECR container deployment, and CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for continuous delivery to ECS Fargate.

Private Serverless Image Processing Pipeline

Technologies: AWS Lambda API Gateway Amazon Cognito S3 AWS SAM CloudFormation

Designed and deployed an end-to-end serverless image processing pipeline on AWS featuring automated image transformation via S3-triggered Lambda functions, user authentication through Amazon Cognito Hosted UI with OAuth 2.0 flow, and a multi-component architecture deployed using AWS SAM and CloudFormation.

Multi-Tier AWS VPC Infrastructure

Technologies: AWS VPC EC2 NAT Gateway Subnets

Designed and deployed a secure, multi-tier AWS network architecture with public and private subnets, NAT gateway, and EC2 instances — following AWS Well-Architected Framework principles for network isolation, security, and scalability.

CI/CD Pipeline & Infrastructure as Code Automation

Technologies: Azure DevOps CodeCommit CodeBuild CodeDeploy Terraform CloudFormation

Built automated CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and AWS developer tools (CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy) to automate code building, testing, and deployment. Separately provisioned cloud infrastructure using both Terraform and CloudFormation.
