π Deploying a 2-Tier Website on AWS
Built a scalable two-tier web app on AWS using EC2 (Amazon Linux), Apache/Nginx, and MySQL RDS with modular architecture.
Aspiring and dedicated Cloud & DevOps Engineer building practical, production-style projects across AWS, Terraform, Linux, containers, Kubernetes, automation, and networking.
I'm a cloud infrastructure specialist passionate about scalable systems, automation, and modern DevOps. I design and deploy AWS architectures, automate workflows with Terraform, and implement CI/CD pipelines that improve reliability, repeatability, and speed. Below are selected projects that demonstrate hands-on skills across AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, networking, and infrastructure as code.
Je suis egalement un passione d'apprentissage de la langue francais. (I am also an avid French language learner).
Projects are grouped to reflect real engineering domains rather than just a course sequence.
Focus on repeatability, cloud architecture, automation, networking, and secure deployment patterns.
Work spans AWS services, Linux systems, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and DevOps workflows.
Recruiter-friendly layout with search, filters, tags, and skill badges for fast scanning.
A categorized portfolio of student projects across cloud infrastructure, DevOps, Linux administration, containers, networking, and infrastructure automation.
Hands-on AWS projects covering scalable application deployment, web hosting, load balancing, databases, and cloud architecture design.
Built a scalable two-tier web app on AWS using EC2 (Amazon Linux), Apache/Nginx, and MySQL RDS with modular architecture.
Implemented an auto-healing, load-balanced EC2 environment with CloudWatch monitoring and scaling policies for variable traffic.
Hosted a static website using S3, Route 53, and CloudFront with SSL for cost-effective, secure delivery.
Deployed and connected to RDS MySQL using SQL Workbench, performing CRUD operations securely.
