I've built and deployed a few Django applications to AWS Elastic Beastalk over the past few years. Most of those applications included some kind of public facing API to serve either mobile apps or single page applications and some of them made use of the Elastic Beanstalk worker tier to handle long-running tasks, such as generating reports, or processing media (like audio, or images). Some of the specific topics that I can help with include: Organizing code to simplify the submission and processing of tasks. Setting up EB environments to scale appropriately for traffic/worker queues. Using EB Extensions to prepare your environments for more complex deployments.

I've had to setup and manage multiple environments with auto-scaling Elastic Beanstalk applications, multiple databases on RDS, SQS queues, and Elasticache clusters. I've also worked on applications that both deployed assets to S3, and served them through S3 and CloudFront. I have also used CloudFront to manage access to servers, and have setup static sites on S3/CloudFront.

I've built many static sites over the years, as personal projects or cheap alternatives to WordPress sites for clients.

I've been working with React as my primary UI library since 2016 (currently 2023). I primarily use Next.js for web apps and expo for mobile apps, and have used both for production-ready apps deployed to AWS, DigitalOcean, and Vercel.

I've built APIs and UIs using TypeScript for the past five years or so. I primarily work with Nest.js on the backend, and React on the frontend. When I work on APIs, I generally create GraphQL APIs with a postgres database. Often they're a combination of Hasura and Nest.js.
