This is my workbench: the cloud, infrastructure and homelab projects I'm building, breaking and fixing. The code and write-ups live in the repos.

- aws-onlineboutique-chaos/[active] Terraform and Kubernetes on AWS, running Google's Online Boutique demo app. The roadmap covers EKS, Helm, observability, CI/CD, and chaos engineering experiments with Chaos Mesh. I'm learning Kubernetes as I go. Terraform · EKS · Helm · Chaos Mesh
- homelab/[ongoing] Self-hosted services on a Proxmox host, with every stack kept as Docker Compose in Git. Current work: Nextcloud and OnlyOffice as a Google Drive replacement. Proxmox · Docker Compose · Tailscale · Prometheus · Grafana
- aws-monitored-webserver/[shipped] A web server on AWS built entirely with Terraform. GitHub Actions plans on every pull request and applies on merge, authenticating to AWS with OIDC instead of stored keys. A CloudWatch CPU alarm emails me through SNS. Terraform · GitHub Actions · EC2 · CloudWatch · SNS
- aws-serverless-url-shortener/[shipped] A serverless URL shortener, defined in Terraform. Terraform · API Gateway · Lambda · DynamoDB
- nixos-config/[private] A reproducible NixOS configuration and dotfiles (zsh, starship, kitty, fastfetch) for my machines. NixOS · Git
- braxtonandrew.com/[new] This page. Static HTML and CSS with no JavaScript, themed from my own terminal config (the Adapta Nokto Maia palette, with the blue hue-shifted to green).
