Interests

Aside for my passion in development and engineering, I enjoy a variety of things. I am an avid car enthusiast, and enjoy wrenching, driving, and appreciating the hard work of other enthusiasts. I grew up in the middle of the Los Angeles import car scene (think of the original Fast and the Furious), and it has given me a lifelong appreciation of everything mechanical, and in particular modern vehicle technology.

I am also a huge hockey fan. I enjoy watching my favorite team, the Los Angeles Kings. I greatly miss the Arizona Coyotes and hope to see their return one day. But I particularly enjoy watching my two favorite hockey players, my kids.

Epilogue

This website was designed to be much more than a simple resume site. It was designed from the ground up to leverage my knowledge of web development, Javascript, Bootstrap, and most importantly to demonstrate my skills utilizing the full suite of AWS tools and services available.

This site utilized all of the AWS services listed below. The environment was created using AWS CloudFormation and is entirely infrastructure as code. It is built on a full AWS-based CI/CD pipeline.
