I'm Scotty. I'm a loud and hungry, self proclaimed cloud wizard based in Perth, Australia. I like building things. I also like breaking things, then building better things from those things. When I'm not nerding out on a computer, I like to read, cook, climb, hit the gym, practice yoga, or find some other new hobby/project/interest to get stuck into.
This is my Cloud Resume, a capability statement in cloud form that demonstrates my current level of skill and proficiency in designing and implementing AWS cloud solutions on the world wide web. It's comprised of two parts: the cloud, and of course, the resume.
This website uses a serverless architecture to provide high availability and reliability at low cost, with minimal operational overhead, and is secure by design.
The front-end is a static single page website, written in HTML/CSS and hosted in an Amazon S3 bucket, which is served via CDN using Amazon CloudFront. The site uses a custom domain name which is managed in Route53, with modern network and security protocols and standards configured. Security headers are configured to be restrictive.
The counter below displays a visitor count for the site. An API is configured to read and update the visitor data in a DynamoDB table, using API Gateway and AWS Lambda. The API and the frontend are integrated using CORS.
The entire solution is developed and deployed as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using the AWS CDK in Typescript. An automated CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline with GitHub allows for fast and seamless updates with minimal effort and zero downtime.

Built a website with a database, API gateway, custom domain and running on a serverless architecture with good security posture from the ground up, deployed to AWS using IaC with AWS CDK. You're looking at it.
