Welcome! I’m Ryan, a developer focused on building in the cloud, especially with AWS. I enjoy designing reliable infrastructure, creating scalable data pipelines, and turning ideas into systems that actually run well.

Take a look around to see some of what I’ve built, including full-stack web apps, Terraform modules for deploying applications on AWS Fargate, highly available VPC networking modules, and more.

AWS Fargate: Networking Options for Tasks in Private Subnets

When your applications are running in containers on Fargate, there are a few options for getting internet access to them. If they can't be placed in public subnets, NAT Gateway or VPC Endpoints are common solutions for Fargate tasks in private subnets.

AWS Elastic Container Service Overview

Elastic Container Service lets you manage containerized applications at scale on AWS with several cluster modes and pricing options. Here's a quick refresher to go along with the ECS project.

AWS Lambda Python Deployments: Zipped, Layers, Docker Containers

Zipped deployments are still great but not for every use case so this is a look at layers and Lambda container images. Also a look at improvements to container images since their 2021 launch.

Terraform AWS: AWS Fargate Advanced Networking and Deployment

Create a VPC, split the network into public and private subnets and create the IAM Roles and Security Groups needed to begin taking a look at the networking options available for Fargate. Also take a look at different optimization, logging and monitoring settings.

Terraform AWS: User Authentication with Cognito, API Gateway, React

Create a serverless architecture for a React application that uses AWS Cognito, API Gateway, and Lambda for user registration and authentication. The application also takes a look at protected routes with React Router and getting retrieving user profile information from DynamoDB.

Terraform AWS: Secure Website Deployment with CloudFront, S3 and OAC

Create AWS infrastructure with Terraform then push an AstroJS web application to GitHub. After a successful build of Astro, GitHub Actions deploys the app to AWS.

AWS Cognito: User Pools, Identity Pools and App Clients

AWS Cognito is an identity management platform for web and mobile applications for registering users, authentication and authorization. User Pools and Identity Pools are the two main components of Cognito, but play very different roles in the authentication and authroization process.

Terraform AWS: Create a VPC with High Availability Networking

Create a stand alone VPC with already configured ingress and egress networking for deploying highly available servers across multiple private or public subnets.
