01About

I design and operate cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Production time with AWS at Interac Corp. and Nioyatech LLC, plus deep classroom and lab work across Linux, Windows Server, Cisco networking, virtualization, and security.

My focus: infrastructure that's automated, observable, and documented — whether that means a Terraform-provisioned VPC, an Ansible-managed fleet, or a Jenkins pipeline pushing microservices to EKS. This very site is a small AWS demo: S3 + CloudFront + ACM + Lambda@Edge, provisioned with Terraform, fronted by Route 53 across two AWS accounts.

Hybrid MSP Infrastructure & AWS Kubernetes Service

A 17-VM, two-site managed service environment for two client tenants, delivered by a 6-person team — then extended with a public HTTPS web service running on a kubeadm Kubernetes cluster provisioned in AWS with Terraform.

On-Prem MSP Environment

  • Proxmox VE virtualization across two sites
  • OPNsense firewalls with site-to-site OpenVPN tunnel
  • Windows Server 2022 AD DS + Samba AD
  • Segmented VLANs, iSCSI SAN, Veeam Backup

AWS Kubernetes Extension

  • 9 AWS resources in Terraform (EC2, Route 53, S3 state, IAM)
  • 2-node kubeadm cluster, Flannel CNI
  • Dockerized nginx behind Caddy + Let's Encrypt TLS
  • Verified end-to-end with HTTP/2 200

Microservices CI/CD Pipeline

Spring PetClinic on AWS EKS · End-to-end Jenkins delivery

End-to-end Jenkins pipeline deploying a Java Spring microservices app to AWS EKS. Built dev / staging / production promotion flow with Maven, containerization, Selenium automation, Rancher-managed clusters, and Prometheus + Grafana observability.

Blog App on AWS — HA Architecture

Django · ALB · Auto Scaling · RDS · CloudFront · Route 53

Deployed a Django blog application on a production-grade AWS architecture: multi-AZ VPC with public/private subnets, Application Load Balancer fronting an Auto Scaling Group of EC2 instances, RDS MySQL in private subnets, S3 + DynamoDB for media, and CloudFront for edge delivery — terminated with ACM-issued TLS.

Phonebook Application — Terraform on AWS

Flask · ALB · Auto Scaling Group · RDS

Fully Terraform-provisioned Python Flask web app on AWS. HCL modules wire an ALB, Launch Template, Auto Scaling Group, and RDS MySQL together — the same stack a team would take from dev to prod via variable files and remote state.

Kubernetes Microservice — Phonebook

Multi-tier app on Kubernetes

Packaged a multi-tier Flask + MySQL app as a Kubernetes workload with Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and persistent volumes — demonstrating the mapping from classic VM architectures to cloud-native primitives.

Ansible Multi-Tier Deployment

PostgreSQL · Node.js · React fleet automation

Idempotent Ansible playbooks and roles deploying a three-tier PostgreSQL / Node.js / React application across a fleet, with separate inventories for dev and prod and role-based variable overrides for environment drift control.

S3 · CloudFront · ACM · Lambda@Edge · Terraform · Cross-Account Route 53

You're looking at it. Static site hosted on S3 behind CloudFront with an ACM certificate, pretty URLs and security headers injected at the edge via Lambda@Edge. Fully provisioned in Terraform and published through a Route 53 hosted zone that lives in a separate AWS account from the hosting infrastructure.
