I'm in my 3rd year of Information Technologies at Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa.
I have a passion for building things — from automation scripts to cloud architectures. I believe technology should be elegant, efficient and well thought-out.
Currently exploring the world of cloud computing, specifically AWS.
This site is hosted entirely on AWS using a fully serverless, static architecture. The files — HTML, CSS and JavaScript — are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket with Static Website Hosting enabled, acting as a scalable and cost-efficient file server.
In front of S3 sits Amazon CloudFront, a global CDN that caches and delivers the site from edge locations worldwide, ensuring ultra-low latency for any visitor regardless of location. CloudFront handles HTTPS through a free TLS/SSL certificate from AWS Certificate Manager, keeping the connection secure on the custom domain guigoldenboy.xyz.
Deployments are fully automated via a CI/CD pipeline: every push to the GitHub repository triggers AWS CodePipeline, which runs CodeBuild to invalidate the CloudFront cache and deploys the updated files to S3 — no manual uploads needed.
