Joshua Barradas

I build serverless, infrastructure-as-code systems on AWS — and I keep them running. This page is one of them: static site on private S3 behind CloudFront, with a Lambda + DynamoDB visitor counter, deployed by Terraform and GitHub Actions.

EXPERIENCE

Cloud Engineer

RFID inventory platform · retail (40+ branches)

  • Production AWS platform for real-time stock visibility across a multi-branch retailer: IoT Core rules engine, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway and S3, integrated with SAP (IDoc) and instrumented with CloudWatch.
  • Infrastructure defined in Terraform; deployed to af-south-1.
  • Contributed to a measured reduction in branch stockouts of roughly 20%.

Cloud Engineer — Integrations (contract)

JobAdder OAuth 2.0 integration

  • Rebuilt a single-tenant OAuth integration into a multi-tenant architecture: per-tenant token storage in DynamoDB and three Lambda functions (callback, refresh, candidate fetch), provisioned via CloudFormation.

The site you're reading now.

  • Private S3 origin behind CloudFront (Origin Access Control), custom domain over HTTPS with an ACM certificate.
  • Visitor counter: API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB, using an atomic update so no visit is ever lost under concurrency.
  • 100% Terraform with remote state; GitHub Actions CI/CD that tests, applies, syncs and invalidates on every push — authenticating to AWS via OIDC, with no long-lived keys.
