PORTFOLIO PROJECTS
Expense Tracker
My ideal projects involve building scalable, cloud-native applications using modern technologies. One example is an Expense Tracker, a full-stack application deployed on AWS using a three-tier architecture. The frontend, built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, provides an intuitive interface for users to track and manage expenses. The backend, developed in Node.js, handles user authentication, expense management, and API interactions. For data storage, a MySQL database hosted on Amazon RDS ensures security and performance. The project leverages key AWS services such as VPC, RDS, EKS, ALB, Route 53, and CloudFront CDN to achieve high availability, scalability, and reliability. I enjoy working on projects like this that combine frontend development, backend logic, and cloud infrastructure—delivering secure, efficient, and user-friendly solutions.
