// about

Who I am

I'm an aspiring software engineer focused on cloud and distributed systems. I care about how systems behave under load, at scale, and when things fail.

Currently preparing for the AWS Certified Developer – Associate certification and building projects that put those patterns into practice.

Serverless URL Shortener

in progress

A link-shortening service designed to survive traffic spikes without any server management. Short links resolve from the edge, and writes go through a thin API layer into a single-table DynamoDB design.

The goal was to practice building a system that is cheap at rest, scales to zero, and still returns redirects in single-digit milliseconds from anywhere in the world.
