Cavin Rakoma

I’m an AWS Software Engineer with 3+ years of production experience building and operating cloud-native systems. I enjoy owning the full delivery lifecycle—from architecting infrastructure to shipping application features that stay reliable under real usage.

In my current role, I architected and deployed AWS infrastructure using EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, and CloudWatch to improve availability, scalability, and monitoring. I provision repeatable environments with Terraform, containerize services with Docker, and automate releases through GitHub Actions CI/CD. I also build and integrate RESTful APIs that power internal services and third-party integrations.

On the application side, I develop scalable full stack features with React, TypeScript, and Node.js—connecting frontend components to backend services with clean, maintainable interfaces. For observability and incident readiness, I configure Prometheus and Grafana to power alerting and dashboards. I also perform Linux server management, performance tuning, and production troubleshooting when it matters most.

I’m intentional about secure deployment practices, including IAM role management, JWT authentication, RBAC, and audit logging. I collaborate closely with stakeholders to translate requirements into cloud-ready deliverables, and I bring the same practical, delivery-first mindset from my training experience as well.
