AWS Engineer

Hi, I'm Sri Shakthi

Building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS — one Terraform module at a time. Transitioning into cloud security with a focus on identity, detection, and incident response.

About me
Who I am

I'm a cloud engineer actively transitioning into cloud security — learning how to build systems that are not only functional but hardened, observable, and resilient.

I started with AWS fundamentals and quickly got hands-on: deploying serverless architectures, locking down access with IAM, and writing everything as code with Terraform. Every project is a chance to go deeper.

My goal is to become a Cloud Security Engineer who understands threats from both the builder and defender perspective — someone who can secure what they build.

Serverless Portfolio Site
This site — a fully serverless static website deployed on AWS with zero EC2 instances. Built with Terraform from scratch: S3 origin with OAC (no public bucket), CloudFront distribution, API Gateway + Lambda backend, and a custom domain via Route 53 + ACM.

AWS Security Monitoring & Incident Response Platform
A cloud security operations platform built on AWS — aggregating findings from GuardDuty, Security Hub, and CloudTrail into a centralised detection and response workflow. Designed to simulate real-world SOC capabilities using native AWS security services, all provisioned with Terraform.
