Designed and implemented a CI/CD pipeline to automate the build, testing, and deployment process of a web application. Integrated GitHub with Jenkins to trigger automated builds on code commits. Containerized the application using Docker and deployed it to AWS EC2. This reduced manual deployment efforts and improved release consistency and reliability.

Built a digital presence for Associated Engineers & Builders
I wanted this website to feel like an extension of the company itself. Organized, clear and made to last. The visual style takes ideas from blueprints engineering charts and technical papers while keeping everything simple and up to date.
I designed and developed the website around their 30+ years of work, bringing together their services, projects, history, and company story into one responsive experience.The aim was straightforward: change a construction company into a powerful modern online presence without losing its engineering roots.
Built from beginning to end. Concept, design, development and launch.
What do you think of the style😍 ?
Pure Webflow development on this one. Structured components, organized CMS, and an architecture built for client autonomy.
Why traditional mutable Linux is an operational liability: The modern path to custom, cryptographically sealed operating systems.
In most companies, operating system management still follows the "pet" paradigm: You deploy an Ubuntu or Debian server, run an Ansible playbook, and over the next three years, packages get updated, dependencies drift, manual SSH edits accumulate in ``/etc``, and no two servers in your fleet are mathematically identical.
When that server crashes, recovery takes hours of re-running fragile configuration management scripts, hoping an upstream package repository hasn't deprecated a dependency.
Modern systems engineering has moved beyond mutable operating systems. With tools like **mkosi**, **Unified Kernel Images (UKIs)**, and **systemd-repart**, we can build tailored, declarative, immutable Linux distributions and appliances:
1. Zero Configuration Drift: The entire operating system is compiled from a declarative recipe into an immutable, read-only root filesystem protected by ``dm-verity`` cryptographic hashes. Not even a root user can tamper with binaries on disk.
2. Cryptographic Boot Integrity: Kernel, initramfs, and kernel parameters are combined into a single Unified Kernel Image (UKI) PE binary, signed with private SecureBoot keys and sealed directly to hardware TPM2 registers.
3. Atomic A/B Updates: Dual-bank partition layouts orchestrated by ``systemd-sysupdate``. Updates happen atomically in the background. If a new OS release fails a health check on reboot, the hardware automatically rolls back to the previous known-good slot instantaneously.
4. Tailored for Purpose: Strip away gigabytes of bloatware. Build lean, hardened 150MB OS appliances purpose-built for hypervisors, edge routers, specialized database hosts, or air-gapped CI/CD runners.
Stop patching snowflake servers. Deploy mathematically verified, immutable Linux appliances.
