Steve DelGuercio
I build cloud-native systems on AWS.
Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer by day - geeking out on AWS on the cheap by night. I build & ship small serverless projects to learn services properly and see how far I can stretch the free tier before anything actually costs real money.
Projects
Paste in a long URL, get back a short link on a custom domain - redirects handled entirely by Lambda. Built mostly to learn API Gateway custom domains and Route 53 end-to-end.
That live number in the console panel above is this project - a Lambda + DynamoDB counter that increments on every page load, no servers to manage.
Full-stack task manager with auth, a REST API, and a small frontend - next up on the build list.
Containerized workloads on ECS, an event-driven pipeline or two, and whatever else I end up digging into. This slot grows as new projects ship.

About
Steve DelGuercio is a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys building, testing, and breaking things in AWS outside of his day job.
The goal with the projects here is simple: build practical AWS solutions using solid architecture and security best practices while keeping the cost as close to $0 as possible. That usually means leaning heavily on the AWS Free Tier, serverless services, automation, aggressive cleanup, and anything else that keeps AWS footing most of the bill.
It's equal parts hands-on learning, experimentation, and an excuse to geek out on AWS without needing a change ticket!
