August 1, 2024 – Present
CDK Express Pipelines is a library built on the AWS CDK, allowing you to define pipelines in a CDK-native method. It leverages the CDK CLI to compute and deploy the correct dependency graph between Waves, Stages, and Stacks using the .addDependency method, making it build-system agnostic and an alternative to AWS CDK Pipelines.

January 24, 2021 – January 25, 2021
In this post I will explore 4 different methods that can be used to pass configuration values to the AWS CDK. We will first look at using the context variables in the cdk.json file, then move those same variables out to YAML files. The third method will read the exact same config via SDK(API) call from AWS SSM Parameter Store. The fourth and my favourite is a combination of two and three in conjunction with using GULP.js as a build tool.

June 26, 2020 – July 30, 2020
This article documents the thought process and steps involved in refactoring a distributed monolith to microservices. We are going to remove API GW, use Amazon Event Bridge and implement BASE consistency in the system to truly decouple our microservices. We also impliment AWS native observability, monitoring and alerting services.

View ProjectCultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's profile shows a strong inclination towards personal projects, open-source contributions, and blog writing, indicating a passion for learning and sharing knowledge. This suggests a good fit for a culture that values continuous improvement and technical advocacy. However, the lack of team-based project descriptions or collaborative work experience makes it difficult to fully assess cultural fit in a team-oriented environment.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
Insufficient data to assess soft skills or operational fit. The candidate's project descriptions indicate a proactive and self-driven individual, but no direct assessment of collaboration, problem-solving under pressure, or communication style is available.
