Jeff Hermelin headshot

I am a technically skilled and detail-oriented professional specializing in cloud computing, data systems, and infrastructure design. This portfolio highlights a collection of projects that demonstrate my hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), from secure static hosting and data storage solutions to system automation and network configuration. Each project reflects my commitment to designing efficient, scalable, and reliable cloud environments that support both technical and business objectives.

My background in recording engineering has strengthened my technical discipline, precision, and ability to integrate complex systems—skills that now translate directly into my work with cloud infrastructure. I am passionate about leveraging cloud platforms to enhance operational performance, improve accessibility, and streamline digital workflows while continuing to grow in cloud architecture and DevOps practices.
