AWS EKS Application Deployment Pipeline
Provisioned production-grade AWS infrastructure using Terraform modules - VPC with public/private subnets, NAT Gateway, EKS cluster and ECR. Built GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline with OIDC authentication to build Docker images, push to ECR and deploy to EKS via Helm. Configured IAM roles with least-privilege S3 access for pods via IRSA.

AWS SAA-C03 Practice App
Built a cross-platform Android/Windows quiz app backed by serverless AWS infrastructure. Uses Cognito for authentication, S3 for score sync and question reporting, and Lambda + EventBridge for scheduled digest email notifications via SNS. Infrastructure managed with Terraform, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and .NET MAUI.

Mini Cloud Deployment Platform
Built a reusable container deployment platform on AWS using Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, Amazon ECR, Amazon ECS Fargate, Application Load Balancer, and CloudWatch Logs. Implemented remote Terraform state with S3, least-privilege CI/CD IAM, and ECR lifecycle cleanup for low-cost rebuild and destroy workflows.
