AWS Cloud Engineer building HIPAA-aligned serverless infrastructure with Terraform, Lambda, and DynamoDB.

United States
Message

I built a HIPAA-aligned serverless cloud portfolio using a private S3 origin, CloudFront, and a Lambda and DynamoDB visitor-counter API. I automated deployment with GitHub Actions and OIDC, and applied encryption, least-privilege access, audit logging, and compliance monitoring to synthetic data.

At Maimonides Medical Center, I led technical buildout for the Bay Ridge Emergency Department launch, coordinating network configuration, hardware provisioning, and staff onboarding. I also automated SQL reporting pipelines with Python, cutting recurring cycle time by 20%.

At LaGuardia Community College, I led multi-lab deployments and hardened public-use workstations with least-privilege configurations and access controls. I’m an AWS-certified cloud engineer with experience supporting HIPAA-regulated clinical infrastructure.
