I’m a Computer Science student with a simple philosophy: If I have to do a task more than twice, I script it.
My journey into engineering started with a frustration we all share—repetitive, manual grunt work. I realized that clicking buttons in the AWS Console wasn't just boring, it was error-prone and slow. That frustration turned into an obsession with Cloud Automation, Python, and building tools that respect a developer's time.
Here is what I’ve been building to fix that.
The Problem: Managing S3 buckets via the AWS Console is slow, but the standard CLI is error-prone and hard to memorize.
The Solution: I built CloudPail, a Python TUI (Terminal User Interface) that combines the visual safety of a GUI with the speed of the command line.
- Tech: Python, Boto3, Rich Library
- Impact: Implemented "safety-first" pre-flight checks to prevent accidental deletions and automated region detection to handle cross-region buckets seamlessly.
The Problem: Manual maintenance tasks (like deleting old backups) are easily forgotten, leading to wasted costs and security risks.
The Solution: I developed the Serverless Functions Collection, a library of event-driven Lambda functions that act as a 24/7 operations team.
- Tech: AWS Lambda, EventBridge, IAM
- Key Modules: An "EBS Lifecycle Manager" that prunes snapshots older than 7 days, and a "Security Group Auditor" that auto-remediates open SSH ports.
The Problem: Aggregating data from multiple public sources for research reports was a manual, copy-paste nightmare.
The Solution: I created SourceFolio, a CLI tool that automates the research loop by fetching data from APIs and exporting structured PDF/CSV reports instantly.
- Tech: Python, API Integration, ReportLab
I focus on tools that help me move fast and break fewer things.
- Languages: Python (my daily driver), SQL
- Cloud: AWS (Lambda, S3, EC2, IAM, EventBridge)
- Libraries: Boto3, Rich, Click
I'm always looking for interesting problems to solve, especially in the Cloud/DevOps space. If you want to chat about automation, Python, or just say hi:
