AWS development and cloud consultancy

I'm an experienced certified AWS Associate Developer, having developed AWS Linux-platformed PHP applications, Node.js serverless applications and provided AWS consultancy services since 2015.

My portfolio of work in AWS includes PHP & MySQL web applications hosted in Elastic Beanstalk / EC2 / RDS, high-performance websites with S3 and CloudFront and event-driven serverless data ingestion and transformation applications using Node.js, Lambda, SQS, Kinesis and DynamoDB.

I regularly undertake projects to migrate legacy applications to the cloud, moving existing PHP & MySQL based applications to a new home in AWS, bringing benefits of security, worry-free scalability and often cheaper hosting costs.

AWS development services

I provide a range of AWS development services, including:

• Web application hosting, using Linux-based EC2 servers managed through Elastic Beanstalk
• Serverless application development with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Kinesis, S3, EventBridge and SNS/SQS - creating infinitely scalable worry-free applications
• S3 storage applications - combining the web platform with the cost-effective scalable storage from AWS, providing businesses with huge, reliable backup and storage solutions
• High-performance static websites - highly efficient websites served from S3 via AWS's CDN technology, CloudFront and with high-performance compute at edge locations with Lambda@Edge
• Security and user management consultancy - advising on and setting up appropriate IAM Users, Roles, Policies and permissions

Best practice AWS development and security

I always like to follow AWS-approved practices and utilise secure methodologies. When working in my client's AWS accounts, I like to set up AWS IAM cross-account access roles so that I can use Multi-Factor authentication and restrict user roles and permissions in a least-privilege approach.

I follow the regular AWS communication updates to ensure I can bring the latest technology and protocols into the work I produce for clients.

Large-scale cloud development

I'm also a founding parter at Manchester-based specialist development agency, Si Novi, where we develop cloud-native AWS applications using serverless technologies for UK and global clients at scale.

I write regularly on the Si Novi website about our AWS development services, such as using AWS CloudWatch for web application dashboards.
