☁️ Cloud Dani: From the Cloud Resume Challenge to Technical Storytelling

🧩 About the Project

This project is a living portfolio demonstrating how I merge cloud engineering, documentation strategy, and technical storytelling.

Through Cloud Dani, I’m documenting my growth as a technologist and storyteller — blending narrative clarity with hands-on cloud infrastructure and innovation.

---

Background

CloudDani began as my implementation of the Cloud Resume Challenge, which is a project designed to demonstrate real-world cloud skills using either AWS, Azure or GCP. What started as a serverless résumé has grown into a living portfolio and creative lab where I explore technical writing, developer experience, and technical storytelling.

What's in the repo?

• 🧾 AWS-powered architecture: S3 for static hosting, CloudFront for CDN, Route 53 for DNS, API Gateway + Lambda for dynamic functions, and DynamoDB for visitor tracking.

• ⚙️ CI/CD automation: Infrastructure-as-Code using GitHub Actions for build, test, and deployment workflows.

• 🤖 Upcoming: Cloud Dani Concierge — an AI-powered interactive résumé (RAG system built with OpenAI GPT-4o and Pinecone) that allows visitors to explore my work through conversation.

• 🧠 Portfolio extensions: developer experience experiments, analytics, and dynamic storytelling tools.
