Projects

Hybrid Private-Cloud Enterprise Platform

2025 — Present

Infrastructure Architect, SRE & Observability Lead

No-public-internet AWS platform with on-prem hybrid integration, paired with a serverless observability stack — S3 Parquet log lake, enriched Slack alerts, Cognito-gated Next.js SPA.

  • Architected a fully private VPC with zero public ingress: ECS Fargate behind internal ALBs, Client VPN for end-user access, Site-to-Site VPN to on-premise systems, and Private CA + ACM for internal service certs.
  • Operated CodeDeploy blue/green rollouts gated by ALB health alarms across three isolated environments, with ECS auto-scaling and ElastiCache Serverless (Valkey) for hot session state.
  • Built a cross-account, contract-driven observability stack: Kinesis Firehose → Lambda → S3 Parquet cold log lake (Athena, lifecycle to Glacier Deep Archive), enriched Slack Block Kit alerts with log context + deep links, and a DynamoDB alarm-history store powering the operator SPA.

AI Document Capture Platform

2024 — Present

Cloud Infrastructure Architect

Hybrid ECS + serverless microservices platform for AI-powered document extraction, with end-to-end CI/CD for both frontend and backend.

  • Architected a hybrid microservices topology mixing ECS Fargate (API + WebSocket) with an event-driven Lambda pipeline (S3 → SQS → LLM-based OCR → relational DB).
  • Engineered for graceful failure: SQS-decoupled Lambda stages with retry isolation, ECS auto-scaling, and CodeDeploy blue/green releases.
  • Operated full-stack observability: CloudWatch alarms on ECS, ALB and log-error patterns → SNS → AWS Chatbot, routing incidents to dedicated Slack notice / alert channels.
