MY STORY
My interest in technology started early when I saved up for my first budget PC and learned how to build it myself. That hands-on experience sparked a deeper interest in how systems work, how they fail, and how they can be improved.
Over time, that curiosity grew into a career centered around infrastructure, support, and backend systems. What began with fixing and building machines evolved into designing environments that are stable, secure, and built to last.
WHAT I DO
I build, maintain, and improve the core systems organizations depend on every day.
I streamline repetitive work and turn manual processes into efficient workflows.
I work across on-prem and cloud environments to keep systems connected, stable, and scalable.

Terraform Production-ready Azure backend API
The interactive window above demonstrates how a frontend application can communicate with a deployed backend service. When a command is triggered, the Astro frontend sends a request to the backend API running on Azure App Service.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) rules allow the portfolio site to securely communicate with the API, while environment-based configuration in Azure App Service provides the connection settings required for the application to reach its supporting services.
CloudLab is an Infrastructure as Code project built to demonstrate how a complete Azure application environment can be provisioned and managed through Terraform instead of being created manually in the Azure portal.
The project deploys the core cloud resources required to run a web application, including resource groups, an App Service-hosted API, database services, and the supporting configuration needed to connect them together. This makes the environment reproducible, easier to maintain, and suitable for real-world cloud deployment workflows.
During development the backend API was containerized with Docker to ensure consistent behavior between local testing and cloud deployment. This allows the application to be built, tested, and validated in a controlled environment before being deployed to Azure infrastructure managed by Terraform.
Terraform acts as the source for the infrastructure. When the configuration is applied, Azure resources are created and wired together automatically. The frontend communicates with the deployed API, and the API uses environment-based configuration to connect securely to its supporting services.
The diagram below represents the Azure environment provisioned by Terraform and shows how the application, database, and supporting cloud resources fit together.
Cloud-native monitoring dashboard
I built a full-stack DevOps monitoring platform designed to simulate and visualize real-world infrastructure behavior, including service health, traffic patterns, system metrics, and Kubernetes-style autoscaling.
The system uses a React (Vite) frontend and a FastAPI backend deployed to Azure, with full CI/CD pipelines through GitHub Actions.
It is designed to operate in two modes: a cost-efficient Azure Container Apps deployment used now, and a future-ready AKS path for a true Kubernetes-native runtime later.
The live dashboard is hosted in Azure and showcases service health, deployment info, request testing, traffic simulation, live metrics, charts, and a Kubernetes-style runtime layer.
Open Live Dashboard Azure demo runtime may take 1–2 minutes to wake.

Because the current deployment runs on Azure Container Apps rather than a live AKS cluster, the Kubernetes runtime layer operates in a fallback demo mode.

This project demonstrates my ability to design, build, and deploy a full-stack cloud-native system using real DevOps practices, including CI/CD, containerization, Azure deployment, observability, environment management, and scalable architecture planning.
self-deploying GPT backend
When a user submits a prompt in the terminal above, the Astro frontend
sends a POST request to the AutoForge API endpoint (/ai/chat). The FastAPI backend forwards the request to Azure OpenAI and returns
the generated response, which is then rendered in the terminal interface.
CORS rules allow the portfolio site to communicate securely with the backend while API keys and deployment configuration are stored as environment variables in Azure App Service.
AutoForge AI is a cloud-deployed AI backend platform designed to demonstrate how modern applications integrate AI services with automated DevOps pipelines. The system exposes a FastAPI endpoint that forwards prompts to Azure OpenAI, allowing the portfolio site to interact with a live AI service.
The focus of this project is not just the AI integration but the infrastructure and deployment workflow behind it. Every change pushed to GitHub automatically builds, tests, and deploys the backend to Azure App Service using a CI/CD pipeline.
AutoForge begins at the Astro frontend, where the user submits a prompt through the terminal interface. That request is sent to a FastAPI backend hosted on Azure App Service.
The backend validates the request, loads its configuration from Azure App Service environment variables, and forwards the prompt to Azure OpenAI. The generated response is then returned to the frontend and rendered back into the terminal UI.
During development and CI, Docker is used to keep the application behavior consistent across local testing, automated validation, and deployment workflows.
The sketch below shows how prompts move from the Astro frontend to the FastAPI backend, through Azure OpenAI, and back to the user, while GitHub Actions handles automated deployment to Azure App Service.
Live AWS EC2 + private PostgresSQL RDS demo
AWS LIVE DEMO
Live EC2-hosted API connected to private PostgreSQL RDS through AWS security groups.
AWS Secure Enterprise Portal is a cloud-hosted internal business platform demo built on Amazon EC2 and PostgreSQL RDS. The project demonstrates a real web API hosted on AWS, connected to a private database through controlled security group access.
The portal exposes live asset and ticket data from PostgreSQL, allowing my portfolio frontend to query a real AWS backend instead of static mock data.
The current cost-optimized version uses a public EC2 instance for the Node API and a private RDS PostgreSQL database. The database is not publicly accessible; only the EC2 security group is allowed to connect on port 5432.
The production-style version of this architecture can be expanded with an Application Load Balancer, AWS WAF, and EC2 Auto Scaling. Those components were planned as the enterprise layer, while the current live version keeps costs low for portfolio hosting.
