Cloud & DevOps Projects
Cloud Resume Challenge (This Website)
Architected and deployed this serverless resume website on AWS to demonstrate full-stack DevOps and cloud security principles.
[View on GitHub]
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deployed all AWS resources (S3, CloudFront, Lambda, DynamoDB) using Terraform for repeatable, version-controlled infrastructure.
- Secure CI/CD Pipeline: Built a security-first pipeline in GitHub Actions that automates testing, SBOM generation (Syft/Grype), and deployment on every commit.
- Zero-Trust Security: Eliminated long-lived credentials by using OIDC for passwordless authentication between GitHub Actions and AWS IAM.
- Full-Stack Observability: Developed the back-end visitor counter with Python on AWS Lambda, with API Gateway logs and metrics streamed to CloudWatch. Achieved 95% test coverage with Pytest.
AI-Powered Knowledge Agent
Developed a CLI-based AI agent to perform semantic search and answer questions against a personal knowledge base of markdown files.
- RAG Architecture: Engineered a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline using LangChain to orchestrate the workflow.
- AI/ML Stack: Utilized Hugging Face models for text embeddings and FAISS for efficient, local vector storage and retrieval.
- LLM Integration: Integrated the Llama3 model via the Groq API for fast, real-time conversational responses.
