I design AWS cloud architectures that are secure, scalable and built to survive production.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect and presales cloud architect with 4+ years designing multi-tier, multi-AZ, serverless and hybrid solutions for production workloads. I run infrastructure assessments, apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework, author SOWs and Solution Design Documents, and ship the Terraform behind the diagrams — and I build and ship my own full-stack products end to end.

AWS architectures I've designed for production

Client and platform designs, reviewed against the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Highly Available Two-Tier Web Application Reference Architecture

The baseline pattern I reach for first: ALB and an Auto Scaling Group across two AZs, RDS with a replica, WAF and Shield at the edge, and CloudWatch and CloudTrail for visibility.

Serverless Event-Driven Architecture with Location Tracking & Notifications
Performance Efficiency
Event-driven
async fan-out via EventBridge, no polling

Serverless Event-Driven Architecture with Location Tracking & Notifications

Cognito-authenticated requests hit a Lambda that reads and writes RDS and S3, publishes location updates through AWS Location Service, and fans out state changes via EventBridge to a notification Lambda and SNS.

1 pipeline
Amplify build/deploy — no infra to hand-provision

Serverless Full-Stack Web Application with AWS Amplify

A CloudFront and Cognito front door into an Amplify-hosted app, backed by API Gateway, Lambda, S3 and DynamoDB — a full stack with no servers to patch or scale by hand.
