⚑ About Me

I'm a Cloud & DevOps engineer who builds infrastructure that recovers from its own failures, and full-stack platforms built like real products, not tutorials.

πŸ‘‰ More about what I do

On the side, I'm experimenting with AI-assisted tooling to see how far I can push automated analytics.

  • ☁️ Cloud & DevOps β€” AWS (ECS Fargate, Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, API Gateway), Terraform, Docker, Jenkins CI/CD
  • πŸ›’ Full-Stack β€” production MERN platforms with JWT auth, bot protection, transactional email, and real Stripe checkout
  • πŸ§ͺ Currently experimenting with β€” AI-assisted analytics pipelines (PostHog data β†’ automated reporting)
  • 🧩 I don't just deploy to the cloud β€” I build infra that detects and recovers from its own failures, live, in front of anyone watching
  • πŸ“ Writing technical breakdowns on Medium

πŸ—οΈ Architecture Deep Dive β€” Self-Healing Cloud Infra

My portfolio site isn't just a landing page β€” it runs a live, interactive AWS self-healing infrastructure demo. You can trigger a real ECS Fargate task failure from the browser and watch the recovery pipeline fix it in real time.

What's actually happening:

  1. A user triggers (or the system simulates) an ECS Fargate task failure
  2. EventBridge catches the state-change event the moment it happens
  3. A Lambda recovery handler relaunches the task and writes the incident to DynamoDB
  4. CloudWatch tracks metrics/alarms on the whole pipeline
  5. API Gateway streams the recovery status back to a React frontend so you watch the fix happen live, not just read about it

No polling, no manual restarts, no "please refresh" β€” the system observes itself and repairs itself. That's the part most portfolio sites just talk about instead of building.
