SUMMARY
Computer Science graduate specializing in Cloud Computing, with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and automating AWS infrastructure using Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Skilled in building secure, multi-tier cloud architectures (VPC, EC2, RDS, ALB) and containerized deployments to ECS Fargate with automated GitHub Actions pipelines. Seeking an entry-level Cloud/DevOps Engineer role to apply infrastructure-as-code and automation skills in a production environment. TECHNICAL SKILLS
Cloud (AWS): EC2, VPC, S3, RDS, ALB, Auto Scaling, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Amplify, Cognito, ECS Fargate, ECR, CloudWatch, SNS, Budgets
Infrastructure & Automation: Terraform (IaC), Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), Kubernetes (fundamentals), Shell Scripting, Linux Programming & Web: Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Tools & Version Control: Git, GitHub, AWS CLI, Basic Networking PROJECTS
Three-Tier AWS Web Application — Terraform GitHub: [link] Tech Stack: AWS VPC, EC2, RDS (PostgreSQL), ALB, CloudWatch, SNS, Terraform
• Designed and provisioned a fully isolated three-tier architecture (public private app private db) across 6 subnets in 2 Availability Zones entirely with Terraform, with the database subnet having no internet route at all.
• Chained security groups by reference (ALB-SG App-SG DB-SG) rather than CIDR blocks, ensuring rules remain valid even if subnet IP ranges change.
• Configured EC2 access via SSM Session Manager instead of SSH keys or a bastion host, eliminating an extra public attack surface while keeping every session logged.
• Set up CloudWatch alarms with SNS email alerts and an AWS Budget alert for proactive cost and performance monitoring, and validated end-to- end connectivity through custom /health and /db-check routes. Containerized Flask App with CI/CD to AWS ECS Fargate GitHub: [link] Tech Stack: Docker, AWS ECS Fargate, ECR, ALB, GitHub Actions, VPC
• Containerized a Flask application with Docker and deployed it serverlessly to AWS ECS Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer, removing the need to manage or patch EC2 instances.
• Built a fully automated GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that builds the Docker image, pushes it to Amazon ECR (tagged by commit SHA and latest), and triggers a zero-downtime ECS rolling deployment on every push to main.
• Enabled ECR vulnerability scanning and an image lifecycle policy, and scoped a dedicated least-privilege IAM user for the pipeline (ECR/ECS access only) to limit blast radius on credential compromise.
• Routed container logs to CloudWatch Logs with health-check-based rollout so new tasks only receive traffic once verified healthy. Coffee Shop Web Application Deployment on AWS GitHub: [link] Tech Stack: AWS EC2, VPC, ALB, Auto Scaling, IAM
• Deployed a web application on AWS using EC2, an Application Load Balancer, and a custom VPC with Security Groups, Target Groups, and Auto Scaling for secure, scalable traffic handling.
• Applied IAM roles and permissions following AWS security best practices. Wild Rydes Serverless Web Application GitHub: [link] Tech Stack: AWS Amplify, Amazon Cognito, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3
• Built a serverless web application using AWS Amplify, Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, with secure user authentication via Amazon Cognito.
• Integrated frontend and backend services to create a scalable, cloud-based application. EDUCATION
