Hi, I'm

Malakaii

DevOps Engineer & AWS Solutions Architect

I’m an AWS-certified DevOps / cloud engineer with 3+ years of experience designing and automating mission-critical infrastructure. I specialize in CI/CD modernization, Kubernetes, GitOps, and internal tooling solutions.
From redesigning pipelines and cutting deployment times by 70% to engineering DNS-based routing that drives CDN usage and eliminates origin bottlenecks - I enjoy building and maintaining reliable, scalable systems that make deployments faster and operations smoother.
Developing and maintaining this site is my way to hone, apply and present my skills in cloud computing as I continue to grow as an engineer.

Projects

Static Website Hosting on AWS S3

Designed and deployed a production-style static website architecture using S3, CloudFront, Route53 and IAM. Implemented least-privilege access, HTTPS delivery and CDN caching to improve performance and security. The site you're viewing now runs on this setup.

CI/CD Pipeline Demo

Built an automated deployment pipeline using GitHub Actions. On every push to main, code is tested and deployed to an EC2 instance — no manual steps required.

AWS Infrastructure Lab

Provisioned a complete VPC with public and private subnets, EC2 instances, and an RDS database using Terraform. All infrastructure defined as code and version controlled.
