Automated Text-To-Speech Storage Program w/ Machine Learning (AWS) | Python, Amazon Web Services

• A simple, automated TTS program that takes any text file on the user's machine, converts that file into a voice file, and stores the voice file on the user's machine.
• Used Amazon Polly (ML) and the AWS CLI to convert text files into voice files to be used by the user's machine as well as multiple AWS Services to automate, store and notify the user that the text file has been stored successfully; including: Amazon Polly, SNS, Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB.

A Really Loud Mobile App | JavaScript, React Native, Node.js

• Built an application that demonstrates 4 core operations when manipulating data in mobile applications efficiently; Create, Read, Update, Delete.
• The app was built using Javascript, React, and Node. The app allows the user to assemble a team of characters to carry out different adventures to acquire gold and other goods that can be used to increase a character's level. Each character has their own unique level, can be sent on adventures, and removed from your team at any time.
• Adventures have difficulty levels that can determine how much gold a team member will come back with and how much health the character loses. Implements CRUD features without the use of any external libraries, mainly using Contexts and Providers.

Cloud Resume Challenge | JavaScript, HTML/CSS, AWS, Terraform

• A website of my resume (which you're currently looking at) that uses a serverless AWS model for hosting and deployed automatically using Terraform.
• Uses many AWS services such as: Route53, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFront, API Gateway, and S3.
• Website is hosted using S3 on a secure HTTPS connection using CloudFront. Custom domain name setup using Route53. Uses a Lambda function to store and update a visitor count that is triggered by an API call using API Gateway.
• Completely automated the process and implemented CI/CD using Terraform and GitHub Actions.
• Uses Cypress.js for end-to-end testing which is triggered upon push to GitHub repo.
