Experience

Something Translator

A back-end Go application with Svelte on the front end that has the same idea as the twisted translations YouTube channel. It takes English phrases and passes through ten random languages from the 70 available, using the AWS translation service, and outputs the result translated back into English.

Lens

https://gitlab.com/valdemar-ceccon/go-web-dev-course

A toy project to learn more about Go. It was written entirely in Go and used Go HTML and template server-side rendering. It also uses PostgreSQL as a database. It is currently hosted on AWS EC2. The entire stack is automated from EC2 instance creation to deployment.

Personal Cloud Infrastructure

https://gitlab.com/iac-br-eco-vald/terraform

This is my personal cloud infrastructure which hosts all my projects and learning labs. It is created using Terraform and currently hosts two applications on a single EC2 instance. There is also some incomplete code for an EKS cluster that I am planning to use instead of EC2 instances in the future.

Migration of Amazon EC2 App to Amazon ECS Service

The client had an already running Rail and Python app running in production. It was using Amazon EC2 instances for each environment. The job was to create a foundation for migrating the application into AWS Fargate service. It was also using a CDN for the static files. This CDN was built using Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3.
