Work History

April 2026

5 Commits • 2 Features

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026: Focused on securing and stabilizing Cloudflare→AWS traffic and hardening API surface. Key deliveries: SSL provisioning and HTTPS setup for Cloudflare→AWS, DNS validation, load balancer configuration to handle secure traffic, and a corrective update to forward HTTP traffic to a target group to prevent redirect loops; CORS security improved with a short maxAge for preflight responses. Major rollback: SSL/HTTPS Cloudflare–AWS integration reverted to preserve deployment stability while designs are revisited. Impact: strengthened security boundary, reduced risk of misrouted traffic, and improved performance and reliability. Technologies demonstrated: AWS (ALB, TLS/HTTPS, listener rules, target groups), Cloudflare integration, DNS validation, infrastructure as code practices, and security hardening for CORS.
