At Jamal Electrical Supplies, I migrated a 150 GB MySQL database to AWS RDS, eliminating recurring outages and unblocking more than 300 daily users across warehouse branches and head office.

At Blackshore LLC, I architect and maintain a client-facing Node.js backend and REST API on AWS, using EC2, RDS, IAM, Amazon EKS, Kubernetes RBAC, Argo CD, and Linux-based incident troubleshooting to keep client inquiry and project submission flows reliable.
