Walk the Talk

Infrastructure as Code

This site is deployed via Terraform. It uses Route53 for DNS, Lambda for HTTP security headers, Cloudfront to serve HTTPS requests, and S3 for static assets (html, css, js, & images).

Static Site Build

Static Site Build

The static assets for this site are built using an open-source static site generator called Hugo. Any merge into the main branch triggers a Github Action to generate the static assets, upload them to S3, and invalidate the Cloudfront cache.

Markdown Resume

I ❤︎ Markdown so my resume is written in Markdown syntax. Any merge into the main branch triggers a Github Action to convert the resume to a pdf, upload the pdf to the S3 bucket, and invalidate the Cloudfront cache. You can view my resume here.
