01About

I design and operate cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Production experience at Interac Corp. (systems engineering on distributed financial-services systems) and Nioyatech LLC (AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD), plus deep classroom and lab work across Linux, Windows Server, Cisco networking, virtualization, and security.

My focus: infrastructure that's automated, observable, and documented — whether that means a Terraform-provisioned VPC, an Ansible-managed fleet, or a Jenkins pipeline pushing microservices to EKS. This very site is a small AWS demo: S3 + CloudFront + ACM + Lambda@Edge, provisioned with Terraform, fronted by Route 53 across two AWS accounts.

02Featured Capstone

ALGONQUIN COLLEGE · EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES · JAN – APR 2026

Hybrid MSP Infrastructure & AWS Kubernetes Service

A 17-VM, two-site managed service environment for two client tenants, extended with a public HTTPS web service running on a kubeadm Kubernetes cluster provisioned in AWS with Terraform — the cloud side built and operated end to end.

On-Prem MSP Environment

  • Proxmox VE virtualization across two sites
  • OPNsense firewalls with site-to-site OpenVPN tunnel
  • Windows Server 2022 AD DS + Samba AD
  • Segmented VLANs, iSCSI SAN, Veeam Backup

AWS Kubernetes Extension

  • 9 AWS resources in Terraform (EC2, Route 53, S3 state, IAM)
  • 2-node kubeadm cluster, Flannel CNI
  • Dockerized nginx behind Caddy + Let's Encrypt TLS
  • Verified end-to-end with HTTP/2 200

Blog App on AWS — HA Architecture

Django · ALB · Auto Scaling · RDS · CloudFront · Route 53

Deployed a Django blog application on a production-grade AWS architecture: multi-AZ VPC with public/private subnets, Application Load Balancer fronting an Auto Scaling Group of EC2 instances, RDS MySQL in private subnets, S3 + DynamoDB for media, and CloudFront for edge delivery — terminated with ACM-issued TLS.

Phonebook Application — Terraform on AWS

Flask · ALB · Auto Scaling Group · RDS

Fully Terraform-provisioned Python Flask web app on AWS. HCL modules wire an ALB, Launch Template, Auto Scaling Group, and RDS MySQL together — the same stack a team would take from dev to prod via variable files and remote state.

Kubernetes Microservice — Phonebook

Multi-tier app on Kubernetes

Packaged a multi-tier Flask + MySQL app as a Kubernetes workload with Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and persistent volumes — demonstrating the mapping from classic VM architectures to cloud-native primitives.

Ansible Multi-Tier Deployment

PostgreSQL · Node.js · React fleet automation

Idempotent Ansible playbooks and roles deploying a three-tier PostgreSQL / Node.js / React application across a fleet, with separate inventories for dev and prod and role-based variable overrides for environment drift control.
