Antonio Rios

New York · DevOps Engineer

Hello there!👋🏼 Welcome to my cloud portfolio. I created this website on AWS for the Cloud Resume Challenge. The front-end uses S3 for storing content, and the domain AntonioRios.xyz directs traffic to a secure CloudFront distribution with SSL certificates. Route 53 handles domain mapping to CloudFront. A Python lambda function with boto3 counts website visits and stores the data in a DynamoDB table. For CI/CD, I integrated GitHub Actions to update the front-end automatically. Terraform provisions the infrastructure including the lambda function and DynamoDB database.

I am a DevOps professional with a strong interest in cloud computing, automation, continuous integration and delivery, and security best practices. Hard-working, energetic, personable, and technical-minded individual. Possess exceptional customer service and communication skills with the strong ability to multitask and resolve issues quickly. Currently a DevOps apprentice where I continue to develop and learn new abilities while seeking to contribute to the overall success of an organization.
