Ended my journey as Technical Director at CapTech Consulting!

I'm excited to take the rest of November and all of December off, and to dive back into a new role come January.

Contributed automated markdown linting and spell-checking to the docs PR process for Akka.NET:

Added automated markdown linting, spellcheck, and docs building to the Marten docs:

This felt good and is the culmination of a project so I wanted to share it:

Over the past 6 months, I went from "having used AWS a few times" to "creating, deploying, and owning the lifecycle for infrastructure across dev, QA, and Prod environments." I had to show a client team how to best use Terraform, and had to evolve and adapt the infrastructure many times along the way. I also created and evolved the CI pipeline across TeamCity and Octopus (client tools of choice).

AWS services deployed included:

• Lambda functions
• API Gateway
• CloudFront for both API Gateway and S3
• WAF
• Secrets
• CMKs
• S3 Buckets
• IAM Roles and Policies
• Glue Jobs
• RDS Aurora

This infrastructure passed the client team's many checks for resiliency and security to become their first AWS application deployed to production.
