Hey, I'm Jessica ✈️➡️☁️

Airline Captain → Cloud Architect (in progress)

I spent 11 years in aviation — flying jets, managing risk in real time, and making high-stakes decisions at 45,000 feet. Now I'm channeling that same discipline into cloud architecture and building things.

AWS Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 certified
AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 scheduled 6/30
AWS Solutions Architect Professional SAP-C02 scheduled 9/1

What I'm Building

😸Custom PCB + AI-powered — a device that listens to my cat Earl Gray's meows and interprets what he's saying, INMP441 MEMS mic, ESP32, AWS SageMaker, SSD1306 OLED display
🔧 IoT + AWS Cloud — Real-time sensor systems with ESP32 microcontrollers, AWS IoT Core, Lambda, DynamoDB, and SNS alerting
📰 Serverless APIs — News sentiment analysis pipeline using Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB
🐾 Full-Stack Apps — Pet health management platform with React, Node.js, Express, and SQLite
☁️ Cloud Resume — Static site deployed with AWS (S3, CloudFront, Route 53, CI/CD via GitHub Actions)

Tech & Tools

Cloud:        AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, IoT Core, S3, CloudFront, SNS, IAM)
Languages:    Python · JavaScript · C++ · HTML/CSS
Frontend:     React · Vite · Tailwind CSS
Backend:      Node.js · Express
Hardware:     ESP32 · DHT11 · OLED · Breadboard prototyping
Tools:        Git · GitHub Actions · VS Code · Arduino IDE
Currently:    Terraform & CloudFormation (next up)

The Backstory

Aviation taught me systems thinking — every flight is a distributed system with redundancy, monitoring, and failure modes. Cloud architecture is the same game with different hardware. I'm not pivoting away from aviation — I'm scaling horizontally😁.
