AWS Amplify is fantastic; it has never been easier to build and provision a cloud-based, full-stack, web application. We can easily create an API using AppSync and have it just work but what happens when you need to perform additional logic?

I took last week off; something that was well overdue. I think with everything that has gone on this year, we have become accustomed to telling ourselves to just "push through" because everyone is going through it to some extent. The reality is that this kind of thinking just leads to burn out.

I'm finding CDK really enjoyable to pick up and understand. Come find out how to set up your static sites and single page applications using it.

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.
