Some Things I've Built

Embedding Cloud Native Visualization

Utilizing QuickSight's serverless architecture to easily scale up the insights with growing user base and embedding it into web/ mobile application through API's.

  • Rich interactive data visualizations
  • Data Analytics capability
  • No need to manage and scale analytics servers
  • Embed it in any web or mobile application
  • Authenticate users with Cognito or your already existing Active Directory

IAM Roles for Service Accounts (ISRA) for EKS

Attach customized IAM permissions to the service accounts (SA), and only the kubernetes pods that use the SA would have access to those IAM permissions.

  • Enforce IAM permissions on specific kubernetes pods instead on apllying on the mode level
  • Reduces the open attack surface
  • Isolates the container credentials. A container can only retrieve credentials for the IAM role that is associated with the service account to which it belongs.
  • Easy to set up and reduces the latency
ISRA

Serverless Contact Form for Websites

No need for expensive backend servers to handle a simple "Contact Us" form on static websites which is critical for every website.

  • Serverless backend to scale up growing user base
  • Send a copy of data back to the user
  • Auto generate customizable email template though Lambda
  • Store all user data in a NoSQL database
