Experience

Weather Station PWA

http://www.araras.tv

araras.tv is a progressive web app built to display information from a meteorological weather station installed at a popular paragliding location. Pilots use this app to discover if the weather is flyable.

Kubernetes on EKS Setup with Terraform

https://github.com/conrado/terraform-eks-cluster-demo

A minimal setup of Kubernetes hosted on AWS EKS with Terraform in only 443 lines of code includes the following:

• Everything is created with Terraform
• Kubernetes on EKS using IRSA
• AWS-Load-Balancer-Controller ingress with TLS
• Route53 auto-configuration of domain names
• ACM auto-provisioned certificates
• Cloudfront CDN with some simple defaults

Full IaC Setup with CI/CD Pipeline for a Microservices Platform

A full IaC transformation for a long-lived instance set up into initially an AMI-based release set up with Autoscaling Groups, which later transformed into a Docker platform using Nomad by Hashicorp with CI/CD running through GitHub actions.

Payment Card Processing API with Kubernetes CI/CD on GitHub

In a recent two-week freelance assignment for a Florida-based gaming company, I played a pivotal role in troubleshooting a NestJS-based Kubernetes API developed by Conrado. I contributed to both the infrastructure and API layers, ensuring robust performance and high reliability. Additionally, I deployed Kubernetes on AWS EKS using Terraform and integrated GitHub OIDC for secure CI/CD pipelines, streamlining the continuous delivery process.
