I was fortunate enough to get a beta invite to Github Actions earlier this week so I figured I would try to deploy a static website to AWS. I also look at the Actions building blocks and keeping your secrets secret.
I'm a software engineer passionate about building highly scalable and available serverless applications. My primary tool set includes React, AppSync, Lambda, DynamoDB and CDK but where I really excel is pushing the boundaries of my knowledge to learn something new.
I particularly enjoy being able to see ideas all the way from conceptualisation through to delivery and have been known to work on multiple projects in my own time to experience the full development process. I am enthusiastic about creating simple, enjoyable and easy to use products and strive to find the right balance between aesthetic and function.
In my spare time I enjoy board games with friends, woodworking and playing with my two dogs.
