About Me

I’m a student builder focused on cloud, backend, and security-oriented projects using AWS, Node.js, MongoDB, PHP, and React.

Right now I’m building hands-on proof-of-work across secure architecture, backend APIs, infrastructure, and full-stack systems so I can grow into cloud and security engineering roles with stronger technical depth and real implementation behind me.

I like projects that leave a paper trail: diagrams, setup notes, screenshots, trade-offs, testing, and working code.


Current Focus

  • AWS architecture and cloud security fundamentals
  • backend API development with Node.js and Express
  • MongoDB and MySQL data flow understanding
  • infrastructure thinking with Terraform and AWS CLI
  • full-stack implementation with React and JavaScript
  • building portfolio projects with diagrams, notes, and test evidence

Currently Learning

CompTIA Security+ AWS Testing PHP Terraform


Direction

I’m currently focused on building strong foundations in backend development, cloud architecture, and secure system design.

My long-term direction is Cloud & AI Security, but right now I’m focused on getting the fundamentals right through projects that show implementation, reasoning, documentation, and technical growth.


Featured Projects

Most of my projects include diagrams, setup notes, screenshots, API testing, architecture write-ups, or implementation logs so the build process is visible, not just the final repo.


Secure AWS Network Architecture

View Repo

AWS VPC Subnets Security Groups Routing

A hands-on AWS architecture project where I designed segmented public and private subnets, mapped traffic flow, and worked through access-control decisions to better understand secure network boundaries, layered exposure, and clearer infrastructure reasoning.


MERN Product Listing Page

View Repo

React JavaScript CSS API Integration Team Project

A team-based full-stack project where I implemented a UX-provided product listing interface, connected it to backend APIs, and worked through frontend-to-backend integration, component structure, and layout accuracy while building against a supplied design.


Secure Auction Search API

View Repo

Node.js Express MongoDB Jest Supertest

A backend API project where I implemented auction search endpoints with defensive input handling, MongoDB queries, and Jest/Supertest tests to validate request flow, filtering behavior, and error handling rather than relying on happy-path assumptions.


Vehicle Classification AI Prototype

View Repo

Node.js Cloud AI Services Image Upload API Flow

An insurance-style AI prototype where I built the backend flow for image upload and analysis, connected it to cloud AI services, and returned confidence-scored classification results to support a simple decision-making workflow.


Student Notes Tracker

View Repo

PHP MySQL Apache HTML LAMP

A small LAMP stack practice project where I worked through the full browser → PHP → MySQL → rendered output flow to better understand backend fundamentals, request handling, and database-backed server-side development before placement work.


How I Like to Build

  • understand the manual setup before hiding it behind abstractions
  • design the flow before writing too much code
  • document decisions, not just steps
  • test end-to-end so the system is proven, not just assembled
  • keep projects clear enough that someone else can follow the reasoning
  • treat notes, diagrams, and screenshots as part of the build, not extras

What You’ll Usually Find In My Repos

  • clear README files
  • screenshots of working flows
  • setup or implementation notes
  • architecture thinking or diagrams
  • API testing or backend validation
  • projects that show how I approached the build, not just the final output
