Cloud Computing Projects & Capstone Project
Projects
This website serves as a showcase of my expertise in Cloud Computing, DevOps, Frontend development,
and my ability to design and deliver high-quality solutions.
This section explores projects I have completed, starting with the Portfolio Website you are viewing
and its Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps Integration, and Frontend Development. Following this will be a
summary of a travel website I developed, and my Engineering Capstone Project from college.
Portfolio Website Cloud Infastructure
Cloud Infastructure with AWS
For cloud infastructure simplicity this web application was deployed on AWS using S3 and Cloudfront for
static website hosting due to its highly available, scalable, secure, and cost efficiency.
S3 also was chosen for its ability to serve static assets (HTML, CSS, JS) directly.
To optamize websit content delivery, AWS CloudFront was used due to its low-latency.
Amazon Route 53 was also used to manage the website domain name.
Lastly Terraform was used for infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to to define, provision,
and manage AWS S3 infrastructure.

Frontend Development with HTML, CSS, JavaScript
The frontend of this website was meticulously developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Much time and effort went into perfecting the details, from small elements like the styling of the menu to the way the JavaScript responds to user interactions. I aimed to create a sleek and simple website that is easy to navigate, yet informative about who I am and my capabilities. (Visit the Frontend section for more project details)

DevOps
After completing a comprehensive Cloud Computing bootcamp, which included a course in Azure DevOps, I took the initiative to deepen my knowledge of DevOps by learning CI/CD methodologies and essential tools. These skills were directly applied in the development of this application's infrastructure. By leveraging these DevOps practices, I ensured seamless integration, automation, continuous deployment, and efficient lifecycle management.

Solutions
An expert problem solver with years of experience tackling diverse challenges, this project alone highlights my ability to resolve hundreds of issues. One of my most notable achievements was designing the CI/CD pipeline to automate website integration and deployment. Other examples include cloud-based solutions from coursework, coding problem-solving, electrical repairs, and hobby car restoration.

Discovery of a Broken Neutral
A neighbor was having unexpected electrical issues, where their lights flickered when using large electronics and their coax cable was energized. After diagnosing, troubleshooting, and testing the circuit, I noticed a great variance in voltage, as residential circuits usually operate around 120V (114V - 125V), while their home was fluctuating under load between 90V and 145V. Realizing that this is a very unusual voltage range and after researching the issue, I discovered that the main electrical circuit feeding their house had a failing neutral wire. This presented a very dangerous situation for their home. After this discovery, the electrical utility company was dispatched, validated the cause of the issue, and resolved the problem.
