Hello đź‘‹ and welcome to my serverless Cloud resume. I'm a serial learner - no really! I'm an enthusiast for cloud computing and seeking a challenging and dynamic career in the cloud industry. I enjoy tinkering with the wide variety of Cloud services AWS has to offer.


This resume website is built using HTML and CSS3, and it is hosted on Amazon S3 with a CloudFront distribution for improved performance. Route53 is utilized for DNS management. The site includes a JavaScript visitor counter that interacts with a Python Lambda function to store and retrieve data from a DynamoDB database. Check out my resume and my work down below and get in touch for any reason by email. Cheers!
