Built a complete, production-style Kubernetes infrastructure on AWS using Terraform — focusing on scalability, modularity, and real-world architecture patterns.

This project goes beyond basic cluster setup. It covers the full infrastructure lifecycle, from networking to managed Kubernetes, designed the way modern cloud environments are actually built.

What was implemented:

• Custom VPC with public & private subnets across availability zones • Internet Gateway, NAT Gateway, Route Tables for controlled traffic flow • Security Groups with controlled inbound/outbound rules • Fully managed Amazon EKS cluster • Multiple node groups for workload separation • IAM roles and policies for secure cluster operations • Modular Terraform structure for reusable infrastructure

Tech stack:

• Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) • AWS (VPC, EC2, EKS, IAM, Networking) • Kubernetes (EKS)

Why this matters:

Most beginners deploy apps… This project focuses on how real infrastructure is designed and automated.

It demonstrates: • Understanding of cloud networking fundamentals • Ability to build scalable Kubernetes environments • Writing structured and maintainable IaC • Moving from manual setup → automated infrastructure

Outcome:

• Fully reproducible infrastructure • Clean and modular Terraform code • Production-like EKS environment setup

If you're working on Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, or scaling systems — this is the kind of setup used behind the scenes.

This is my submission for the Rive HMI Challenge. The concept is set in a post-apocalyptic world where manufacturing infrastructure is gone so vehicles aren't manufactured, they're built from whatever's available. The platform is modular: body, trailer, cargo bed all swappable depending on the job. This configuration is a scout and light delivery vehicle operating at -32° in terrain with unmapped threats. Get to the destination. Don't die. The UI follows the same logic as the vehicle. It's a grid system where each screen tile can be swapped based on what the situation demands. Instrument cluster, climate controls, navigation, vehicle diagnostics, everything reconfigurable. This was my first time building a full HMI system in Rive, state machines, nested artboards, data binding, the whole thing. Honestly it was a lot of fun. There's a point where it just makes sense after all the struggle to figure out state machine based systems. UI designed in Rive. Car model put together in Blender. Comp and Edited in After Effects.

I spent over a year as the product designer for Hypernative. They just raised $40M in Series B funding not long ago.

Hypernative is a real time security platform for Web3, protecting billions in assets across 60+ blockchains. The product is genuinely best in class. But when I started, the UX wasn't matching the tech.

The UI was super complex, data heavy, and required a steep learning curve. For a security platform where seconds matter, that's a big problem. If your users can't parse a critical alert instantly, the best detection engine in the world doesn't help.

So We rebuilt the experience around three pillars: clarity, actionability, and scalability.

Clarity meant redesigning the threat severity system so users could gauge urgency at a glance. Actionability meant replacing static alerts with interactive ones that included recommendations, historical context, and mitigation steps right in the UI. Scalability meant building a modular dashboard so different teams could customize the interface for their workflow.

The results were 40% improvement in threat detection response time. 30% increase in user retention. 25% reduction in false positive friction.

In complex B2B products, design is the difference between a tool people tolerate and a platform they rely on. Especially in security so if the UX creates cognitive load at the moment someone needs to act fast, you've already lost.
