- Twenty years of experience building secure micro-services and web apps.
- Fantastic early adoption consultant
- AWS Amplify expert, GitHub code contributor
My IQ clients have hired me to build serverless apps with AppSync, CI/CD pipelines, Amplify app projects, IoT projects, Machine Learning StepFunction workflow, and IVS video conference integration. I can build across the full stack. I don't fear chaos.
I specialize in starting projects quickly. Ask me anything about security. I handle developer operations too. I love Cloud9, it's my most favorite IDE. On Cloud9, I have hundreds of CloudFormation templates lying around to leverage in delivery.
Active participant in community and conferences. References available upon request.
Docker Based Solutions:
Build secure vpc’s with load balancers, private link endpoints, and peering connections.
Wrote Java and Kotlin apps that load and store data with AWS RDS, AWS S3, AWS DynamoDB, and MongoDb.
Securely published apis with AWS API Gateway, AWS Route 53, and AWS Certificates. The APIs are safe from DoS attacks, X-Site Scripting, and api key spoofing.
Lambda Based Solutions:
Deployed lambdas for online marketing solutions.
Published several multi-modal Alexa skills, on AWS Lambda with NodeJS.
My website https://SpicyKey.com has a brief case study for the Brookfield Smart Home powered by Amazon Alexa.
Alexa skill stack: AWS Cloud9, AWS CodeStar, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipelines.
My CloudFormation templates are in the Serverless Application Model (SAM).
Security Solutions:
Write secure IAM policies
S3 bucket policies and policies for services such as AWS ECS.
Secure container based apps with AWS KMS, AWS Parameter Store, and AWS ECS.
Hardening EC2 servers with shell scripts.
Prototypes and Beta Solutions:

Built experimental react web apps with AWS AppSync, AWS S3, and AWS CloudFront.
Built custom micro service monitoring solutions with AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, and Grafana.
Participated in betas such as AWS Glue with Machine Learning transforms. Demonstrated AWS Sagemaker to potential clients.
Integrated Textract and Comprehend with S3 and Kendra.
Published YouTube video "Alexa and Sphero" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQKDmZCYI5M - demonstrating a secure voice controlled toy. The prototype Alexa skill gave a user control over a toy robot. The server based solution is architected with AWS Lambda, AWS EC2, and AWS ELB, and demonstrates end-to-end encryption. On my voice YouTube channel.
