Production systems. Real metrics. No tutorials.

Three projects across SWE, DevOps, and AWS built, deployed, and measured.

VaultStream

Encrypted file vault with per-file KMS encryption and ~85% storage cost reduction across 15+ AWS services

Secure file storage platform where users upload, encrypt, share, and manage sensitive documents. Every file gets its own encryption key via KMS envelope encryption. Storage costs optimize automatically through S3 lifecycle tiering, files are delivered globally through CloudFront signed URLs, and thumbnails and virus scans run asynchronously through event-driven Lambda workers. Polyglot persistence pairs DynamoDB single-table design for metadata, RDS PostgreSQL for compliance-grade audit logs, and ElastiCache Redis for sub-millisecond cached reads. Infrastructure is defined entirely in AWS CDK (TypeScript) across 8 stacks.

Zero-downtime CI/CD platform with security gates, canary traffic shifting, and automatic rollback

A complete AWS CI/CD pipeline that ships code to production using blue/green deployments with canary traffic shifting, then rolls back automatically when error rates spike no human intervention required. The five-stage CodePipeline runs security scanning (npm audit, Trivy, git-secrets) that blocks builds on high/critical vulnerabilities, deploys to staging with health validation, requires a manual approval gate, then shifts 10% of production traffic to the new version before completing. A CloudWatch alarm on 5xx error rate triggers CodeDeploy's native rollback. The entire infrastructure is defined in CloudFormation nothing is click-ops.

Reduced team coordination time 40% with serverless AWS migration handling 10,000+ requests/day

Full-stack task management platform built for individuals and small teams. Started as a MERN stack app (Express, MongoDB, React) and migrated to a production-grade AWS serverless architecture. The app handles task creation, team collaboration, project tracking, calendar views, productivity analytics, and real-time notifications. The AWS migration replaced the monolithic backend with Lambda functions behind API Gateway, swapped MongoDB Atlas for DocumentDB in a private VPC, and moved file storage to S3 with CloudFront CDN. Infrastructure is fully codified in Terraform (12 modules), deployed via GitHub Actions with OIDC authentication and canary deployments.
