Full-Stack Serverless Developer building production Next.js applications on AWS.
Wiring React/TypeScript frontends to Lambda-backed APIs, headless CMS, and third-party services — backed by 5 years of cloud engineering across Terraform, SOC 2-compliant infrastructure, and multi-account AWS.
About
Full-stack serverless with cloud engineering depth
Building and shipping production Next.js applications on AWS — from React/TypeScript frontends to Lambda-backed APIs, headless CMS, and end-to-end infrastructure.
I design, build, and ship full-stack web applications — Next.js frontends wired to serverless backends on AWS, with Sanity headless CMS, SST, and production-grade Terraform infrastructure underneath.
My background in cloud engineering means the frontend, serverless backend, and infrastructure stay in sync end-to-end. I own the full client lifecycle from discovery and scoping through deployment, DNS setup, and post-launch support.

Full-Stack Serverless Developer
Runtime DesignsFreelance
- Designed, built, and shipped Dorval Construction's marketing site (dorvalconstruction.com) — a multi-page Next.js 15 site with image gallery, services pages, and a serverless contact form (API Gateway + Lambda + SES) hosted on private S3 + CloudFront with Origin Access Control.
- Built Saudade Café (saudadecafe.cafe) — a bilingual (Portuguese/English) Next.js café site with Sanity headless CMS for menu and content management, plus a coworking booking subdomain featuring a multi-step calendar, time-slot, and payment flow.
- Operate the studio's own marketing site at runtimedesigns.com on Next.js 15, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, hosted on AWS with Cloudflare DNS.
- Own the full client lifecycle — discovery, scoping, design, frontend and serverless backend implementation, AWS deployment, domain and DNS setup, and post-launch support.
Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer
Direct IT
- Designed and managed AWS and Microsoft 365 infrastructure for clients, including a SOC 2-compliant environment with a $200K–$250K annual cloud budget across 30+ servers.
- Provisioned multi-account AWS production infrastructure with Terraform — VPCs, EC2, IAM roles/policies, Lambda functions, security groups — using reusable modules and remote state.
- Architected serverless and disaster-recovery environments in AWS using Terraform, including site-to-site VPN tunnels connecting on-premises networks to cloud.
- Wrote automation in PowerShell, Bash, and Python; monitored 30+ servers via CloudWatch and DattoRMM.
- Resolved 15–20 daily L1–L3 escalations across cloud, networking, and on-premises environments — translating complex technical issues for both technical and non-technical clients.
