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 autogenerated with certificate manager. 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 after changes in the main branch. Terraform provisions the infrastructure including the lambda function and DynamoDB database.

DevOps Engineer with several years of experience designing, automating, and maintaining scalable cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. Experienced in cloud platforms, infrastructure automation, and implementing reliable deployment workflows that improve system efficiency and development velocity. Strong background in troubleshooting, monitoring, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver stable and secure systems. Known for a proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to quickly diagnose and resolve technical issues while contributing to the overall reliability and success of engineering operations.
