About

Cloud engineer with a
quality-first mindset.

I'm Pavankrishna Ellore Ramesh, an AWS Cloud Engineer based in Germany. My journey started in software quality assurance, where I learned to think critically about systems: what breaks, why it breaks, and how to prevent it.

I apply the same rigour to cloud infrastructure, prioritising resilient architectures, comprehensive monitoring, and security from the outset. Unlike many engineers who focus solely on building, I ensure solutions are robust and sustainable.

Currently working toward the Solutions Architect Associate certification and actively transitioning into cloud engineering roles.

Hands-on AWS Work

Project 01 · AWS Amplify Deployment
This Portfolio,
Hosted on AWS

Deployed using AWS Amplify to establish a fully managed, Git-driven CI/CD workflow. By connecting directly to the source repository, the platform automates environment compilation, handles edge-caching distribution, and provisions managed SSL/TLS certificates seamlessly.

AWS Amplify CI/CD Pipeline Git Integration Edge Networking ACM (SSL)
Amplify Deployment Flow
Git Push→I push code updates to the main repository branch.
Automated Build→AWS Amplify triggers automatically, provisioning an isolated build environment.
Global Deploy→Content updates are dynamically served across global edge CDN locations.
Project 02 · Capstone
ELLORE - Serverless E-Commerce Platform on AWS

A production-grade serverless e-commerce platform built on AWS using 26 services and 130 resources, fully automated with Terraform Infrastructure as Code. Features user authentication (Cognito), API protection (WAF), real-time notifications (SNS/SES), and end-to-end observability (CloudWatch + X-Ray). Deployed in eu-central-1 for GDPR compliance. Total cost: under $25.

Fully Serverless 5 Lambda functions handling all business logic - zero server management, auto-scales to 1000+ concurrent executions.
Enterprise Security Cognito JWT authentication + WAF (OWASP Top 10) + Secrets Manager + least-privilege IAM - security enforced at every layer.
100% Infrastructure as Code 21 Terraform files - entire platform destroyed and rebuilt from scratch in under 5 minutes.
Project 03 · Networking Tool
VPC Subnet Calculator

A browser-based tool to plan and visualise AWS VPC architectures. Input a CIDR block and it instantly calculates subnets, available IPs, host ranges and AWS reserved addresses, with multi-AZ layout recommendations.
