Cloud Architecture
Expertise in Cloud Technologies. My philosophy is "Right tool for the right job," prioritizing Serverless-first architectures to minimize operational overhead.
The Serverless Mindset
I advocate for a serverless first approach not because it's trendy, but because it radically shifts engineering focus from maintenance to continual innovation. By leveraging managed services like AWS Lambda and DynamoDB, we decouple our teams from patching OS kernels and scaling clusters, allowing them to focus entirely on business logic.
However, serverless isn't a silver bullet. For long-running compute or specialized workloads, I utilize containerized solutions (ECS/Fargate) to balance cost and performance.
AWS Proficiency
- ●Compute: Lambda, ECS Fargate, EC2
- ●Data: DynamoDB, RDS (Aurora), S3, ElastiCache
- ●Integration: EventBridge, SQS, SNS, API Gateway
- ●Security: IAM, WAF, Secrets Manager, KMS
Common Patterns
Event-Driven
Decoupling microservices via EventBridge and SQS to ensure system resilience and independent scaling.
CQRS
Separating Read and Write paths (often using DynamoDB streams to ElasticSearch) for massive read scalability.
