A collection of my technical notes, lab documentation, and architecture experiments. This is where I document my continuous learning journey.
Demonstrating the design, manipulation, and optimization of Amazon DynamoDB using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) and the AWS CLI.
Implementing Amazon S3 for static website hosting, enforcing IP-based access security, and automating content deployment using Python (Boto3) and the AWS CLI.
Foundational documentation on configuring a Virtual Private Cloud and deploying secure EC2 instances from scratch.
Implementing a global CDN to reduce latency, enforcing HTTPS, and securing S3 origins/APIs using strict IP-based Web ACLs and Edge Computing.
Implementing AWS Systems Manager to centralize IT operations, automate tasks, and securely access servers without SSH keys or bastion hosts.
Demonstrating practical FinOps principles through rigorous resource rightsizing, legacy workload cleanup, and TCO validation.
A comprehensive modernization journey refactoring a monolithic Node.js application into a microservices architecture orchestrated by Amazon ECS.
An end-to-end incident response workflow investigating a website defacement and unauthorized access using AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Athena, and Linux forensics.
Implementing a comprehensive Observability and Governance ecosystem, including automated agent deployment, log analytics, event-driven alerting, and continuous compliance auditing.
Designing and implementing a logically isolated custom Amazon VPC with public and private subnets, NAT Gateways, and a Bastion Host for secure remote access.
Architectural migration from self-managed containers to AWS PaaS (Elastic Beanstalk) and Serverless databases (Aurora Serverless) for automated scalability.
