That's my resume as challenged by the team at Cloud Resume Challenge.
This is a blog post about creating the resume using Amazon Web Services (AWS), Terraform, GitHub Actions for a CI/CD DevOps workflow, AWS Lambda, S3 static website hosting, DynamoDB, Javascript, Python, API Gateway, Route53, and so many other fantastic tools.
Why did I create my AWS cloud hosted resume? Simply enough, I wanted to be able to prove that the AWS Certification I earned wasn't just a piece of paper, but evidence of skill in my re-targeted career aiming at cloud solutions.
The most important aspect of completing the Cloud Resume Challenge was being able to tie so many services together to create a serverless app with a CI/CD workflow. There are many different ways to accomplish the same goal, so it was important for me to lean into one particular techstack and roll with it. Beyond that, beginning my exploration of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Hashicorp's Terraform platform has been eye-opening. Tim's AWS Journey is henceforth amended to Tim's AWS + Terraform Journey.
I was a web developer. I am now an AWS Cloud Certified Solutions Architect who embraces IaC. I am also #opentowork
Some GitHub examples, including parts of the project, CI/CD workflow, etc
