Ira Shoemo
Welcome to my cloud portfolio. I built this web app on AWS as part of the Cloud Resume Challenge. For the frontend, I used S3 to store the content for the webpage, purchased the domain irashoemo.com through Route 53 and directed traffic to a secure (HTTPS) CloudFront distribution. For the backend, I used DynamoDB to keep track of the amount of visitors to this webpage. Each time the page is loaded, a Javascript function makes an API call to API Gateway, which triggers a Lambda function to add +1 to the visit count in DynamoDB, and retrieve the current visit count to be displayed at the bottom of the page to the viewer. Lastly, I provisioned the backend resources with Terraform.
Before my time as a Software Engineer, I was a tutor teaching adolescence Algebra and a Software TA teaching adults how to create full stack applications so I understand the importance of effective communication, learning quickly, and thinking on your feet. As a Software Engineer, I have a variety of skills in web development, proficiency in creating and implementing dynamic front and back end web applications and a knack for resolving challenges. I have a huge interest in AWS and the cloud. I am looking to learn more about Cloud technologies and use my previous experience of building out full stack applications to be of use to my team.
