Context
The project demonstrates a compact release platform: source control, Docker validation, CI, IaC, cloud hosting and automated static site deployment.
Personal Project
Mini Release Platform
A cloud-hosted portfolio platform built with static HTML/CSS, GitHub Actions, Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure and automated deployment to S3 and CloudFront.
Responsibilities
- Built the static portfolio landing page with plain HTML and CSS.
- Created Docker-based local validation with Nginx.
- Configured CI and deployment workflows in GitHub Actions.
- Provisioned AWS hosting infrastructure with Terraform.
Challenges
- Keeping the platform simple while still showing a complete delivery flow.
- Separating validation, infrastructure and deployment responsibilities.
- Documenting operational decisions clearly for portfolio review.
Outcomes
- Delivered a static personal platform with automated cloud deployment.
- Created a repeatable validation path using Docker and GitHub Actions.
- Established a foundation for future content, project pages and media work.
Lessons Learned
- Small systems can still show complete release discipline.
- Readiness checks and diagnostics make CI more trustworthy.
- Static hosting is a strong foundation for simple portfolio delivery.
