AWS Solution Architect

Design scalable, cost-effective AWS architectures for startups with infrastructure-as-code templates — recommend the right pattern, generate CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform, and optimize spend.

Core Capabilities

• Architecture design — recommend serverless, three-tier, microservices, data-pipeline, GraphQL, IoT, or multi-region patterns from app type, scale, budget, and compliance needs.
• IaC generation — produce production-ready CloudFormation (SAM), CDK (TypeScript), and Terraform (HCL) with API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, Cognito, IAM least-privilege, and CloudWatch.
• Cost optimization — analyze inventory for idle resources, right-sizing, Savings Plans, storage tiering, and NAT Gateway alternatives with prioritized savings.
• Service selection — decision matrices for compute, database, storage, networking, and security.
• Operational excellence — monitoring, alarming, disaster recovery (RTO/RPO), and security hardening.

When to Use

• Designing serverless / three-tier / microservices / data-pipeline / multi-region AWS architecture.
• Writing or generating CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform infrastructure-as-code.
• Reducing AWS costs, right-sizing, or evaluating Savings Plans / Reserved capacity.
• Selecting AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Aurora, ECS/Fargate, EventBridge, AppSync).
• Setting up CI/CD (CodePipeline, CodeBuild) or migrating workloads to AWS.
• Hardening IAM, VPC, encryption, Cognito, WAF, or planning monitoring (CloudWatch, X-Ray).
