I build repeatable workflows: scripts that reduce manual steps, make systems safer, and keep deployments predictable. This page is a curated index — the full proof (code, READMEs, commit history) lives on GitHub.

About

I’m building toward cloud engineering through a Python-first approach: automate the boring parts, document the system, and make it easy to run again tomorrow.

How I build

I focus on repeatability: scripts over click-steps, least-privilege over “admin everywhere,” and clear READMEs that explain what the project does and how to run it. When something breaks, I want logs and structure that make the fix obvious.

Why Python

It’s the fastest path from idea → script → reliable workflow (and boto3 makes AWS programmable).

What I practice

Small tools, clean repo structure, and building habits that scale past beginner projects.

What you’ll see

Automation scripts, cloud setups, and deployable projects with practical documentation.

Python (primary)

My main focus is Python for automation — scripting AWS tasks with boto3 and building CLI tooling that makes work repeatable.

AWS automation (boto3)

Program AWS tasks (IAM, S3, EC2) with predictable scripts instead of manual console steps.

CLI tooling

Small command-line apps with clean inputs, safe defaults, and clear output.

Reliability basics

Logging + error handling so scripts fail loudly instead of silently doing the wrong thing.

Clean structure

Simple modules, reusable helpers, and consistent repo layouts so projects stay maintainable.

Rule: if a task can be done twice, it should become a script.

Projects

Python • AWS • IAM

IAM automated users

Automating IAM user workflows using boto3 (repeatable, auditable, safer than manual).

Python • Study • Fundamentals

Python essentials 1

Structured study notes and practice for Python fundamentals (clean progression + examples).

CLI • GitHub • Automation

CLI GitHub Menu Automation

Menu-driven workflow for common GitHub tasks (reduce repetitive commands, keep flow fast).

More

Everything else

All repos, experiments, notes, and ongoing builds live on my GitHub profile.

Repo quality rules

Readable README, clear setup, and scripts that fail safely with useful error messages.

Automation mindset

If the workflow needs a checklist every time, it should become a command.

Cloud realism

Least privilege, cost awareness, and clean structure over “it works once.”

Stack

Tools I’m actively using across builds (Python is the center of gravity).

Python

boto3, scripting, CLI tooling patterns, and disciplined error handling.

AWS

IAM, S3, EC2, CloudFront, CloudWatch (fundamentals + automation).

Bash + Linux

Shell workflows, SSH, and small scripts that glue systems together.

Web

Static HTML/CSS sites with fast deploys and clean structure.

Now

Current focus: deepen AWS fundamentals and build a Python automation library that covers common tasks: IAM workflows, S3 deploys, EC2 routines, and CloudWatch logging.

Short-term

More boto3 scripts + stronger logging conventions across repos.

Mid-term

Reusable modules, config files, safer defaults, and better testing habits.

Long-term

Ship projects that prove engineering habits: security, cost, reliability, clarity.
