I live and breathe travelling, you can see where I have been on the map in my contact page, by
zooming right out. I'm
planning on going to all ~200 Countries before the timer below runs out.
I love snowboarding. I have spent a few seasons boarding in southern Europe. It's as
good as they say. My next stop is very likely the snowfields of Hakuba, Japan.
I am an AWS specialist, and I really enjoy the work that I do.

I created some really amazing projects for some very cool people.
Project A:
Using AWS Amplify, we made a Netflix style service to help the elderly to
enjoy tailored content made just for them. Using an AWS template we created a service that could take
uploads from a web portal that was protected by AWS Cognito, we can upload video content to an S3 bucket
for processing with the media encoder service. That encoded footage is put in a new bucket for
consumption by cloudfront when users login. The data is tracked by putting metadata into a Dynamo table.
The application was written in React.
