Older Projects

Cloud Appointment System

Full-stack appointment scheduling platform simulating a healthcare scenario. This was my first serious multi-tier cloud build with frontend, backend, and DNS integration. I implemented automated deployments, monitoring, and a secure networking layer, which gave me hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and managing distributed services. This project bridged the gap between basic deployments and production-grade infrastructure.

Pitt Panthers Cloud Leaderboard

Early serverless leaderboard built on AWS to handle real-time score submissions. This project was where I solved key infrastructure pain points for the first time, like API Gateway integration issues and persistent CORS headaches. It laid the groundwork for understanding how to build reliable client-to-backend communication in a fully serverless stack and prepared me for Infrastructure as Code adoption.

Architecture: S3 • API Gateway • Lambda • DynamoDB • HTML/JS

Serverless Contact Form

Event-driven contact form pipeline designed to handle incoming submissions in real time without maintaining servers. Beyond just building a form, I focused on event processing, alerting, and observability. This project helped me understand serverless event flows, operational visibility, and the importance of designing for scale from the start.

Static Website Deployment

My first hands-on cloud project. I deployed a static website using AWS services to learn the fundamentals of cloud hosting, content delivery, and optional domain configuration. This project gave me a practical foundation for understanding global distribution, caching, and cost-efficient deployment strategies.
