About

I am a cloud engineer and an AWS content creator at QA. I build technical lessons and animations in After Effects to explain how the cloud actually works. I hold seven AWS certifications. Make of that what you will.

I build systems to solve problems. When I got tired of scrubbing through YouTube videos for baking recipes, I engineered an AWS Transcribe script to extract the exact text instantly from the terminal. I am also a videographer and photographer. I built my cinematic portfolio, DenMotion, on a completely serverless AWS architecture. Check out my docs for the technical builds, or my YouTube for the hands on demos.

Outside the Cloud

I train at the gym five days a week, play Sunday league football, and recently started doing Pilates. I eat roughly 122 eggs a month. Before I pivoted into tech, I worked with Mexican spices at Cool Chile Co. I originally graduated with a law degree and briefly worked as an immigration lawyer.

Docs

I write technical documentation for most of the stuff I build, and I keep a personal blog for everything else. Both run on Jekyll and Chirpy, deployed to GitHub Pages. Here's some posts:

Looking for something specific? I built an agent that can answer questions about me, my work, search my content, or just chat AWS. It's like a personal assistant for my website. It pulls from my docs and personal blog, so the more I document, the more it knows. Read the story in Building the Deniz Agent, or try it on the Agent tab.
