Projects
Cloud Resume Challenge — Serverless Web Application
This project is a fully serverless resume website built on AWS following the Cloud Resume Challenge. The frontend is hosted on S3 and delivered globally via CloudFront with SSL/TLS encryption. A visitor counter is implemented using API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB, updating in real-time as users visit the site. The entire infrastructure is defined as code using Terraform and deployed through a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions.
- Amazon S3 — Static website hosting
- Amazon CloudFront — Global CDN with SSL/TLS
- AWS Certificate Manager — SSL certificate management
- Amazon Route 53 — DNS and domain management
- Amazon API Gateway — RESTful API endpoint
- AWS Lambda (Python) — Serverless visitor counter logic
- Amazon DynamoDB — NoSQL database for visitor count
- Terraform — Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- GitHub Actions — CI/CD automation
Fargate PoC
This PoC shows how a Node.js application is deployed on AWS ECS Fargate without managing servers. User traffic is secured and distributed via AWS managed services, the application runs in private subnets, connects to a managed database, and is deployed automatically through CI/CD.
- Amazon CloudFront – CDN, SSL, caching
- AWS WAF – Web application security
- Application Load Balancer (ALB) – Traffic routing
- Amazon VPC – Public & private subnet isolation
- Amazon ECS (Fargate) – Serverless container runtime
- Amazon ECR – Docker image registry
- Amazon RDS (MySQL) – Managed relational database
- NAT Gateway – Controlled outbound internet access
- VPC Endpoints (ECR / S3) – Private AWS service access
- Amazon CloudWatch – Logs, metrics, alarms
- Amazon SNS – Alert notifications
AI Avatar — AI-Driven Video Automation
This project is a serverless AI video generation pipeline. It is triggered by EventBridge (scheduled) or API Gateway (on-demand) and runs on AWS Lambda. Lambda generates personalized text with OpenAI, converts it to MP3, stores it in S3, and sends it to Heygen to create an avatar video. The video is watermarked using ffmpeg, saved to S3, and a webhook notifies the Imona platform when the video is ready.
