I design and deploy AWS business infrastructure using cloud architecture, Terraform IaC, and AI-assisted engineering workflows. Built for reliability, cost control, and operational simplicity — at $74/month. This is not a demo environment. It is live.
Stack & Background
// 01 · Background
Long before generative AI became mainstream, I was planning a path into machine learning. I ended up in enterprise IT and healthcare security instead — and each stop made me a better infrastructure thinker than any shortcut would have.
Former Wall Street recruiter. I know how companies hire and what they actually need behind a job description. That perspective shapes how I build — for operational reality, not demos.
I built my AWS stack AI-first. Claude Code read the codebase, wrote modules, ran validations, and helped reason through architecture decisions. That is not replacing engineering judgment. That is multiplying it.
My belief: traditional roles will not be replaced by AI. They will be replaced by people who know how to operate AI. I am building that workflow now — in production.

// 02 · Core Capabilities
AWS Infrastructure Engineering
Designed and deployed a full-stack AWS environment using Terraform IaC. Multi-AZ VPC, private subnets, ECS Fargate compute, ALB at the edge, VPC endpoints instead of NAT. No long-lived IAM keys anywhere.
Secure-by-Design Architecture
Customer-managed KMS encryption across every service. CloudTrail with tamper detection. Least-privilege IAM throughout. Tag-based automated backup. Five CloudWatch alarms. GitHub Actions CI/CD with OIDC — no stored credentials.
AI Operator Workflow
Built this stack using Claude Code as an AI operator — planning before changes, validation after every edit, documented tradeoffs for every architectural decision. Faster delivery, higher quality, reproducible results.
