Auth0 MCP Tenant: Secure API Orchestration and AI Action

• Tech Stack: MCP, Auth0, OIDC, Audit Logging, CIAM
• Aim: To design a secure, traceable, and compliant API orchestration system by leveraging identity and access management principles.
• Description: Documented and architected how the MCP controller manages AI and tool actions using one-time, action-specific tokens with detailed logging. Ensured that all actions are secure, auditable, and compliant with governance best practices, enabling safe AI usage in enterprise environments.
• Outcome: Gained hands-on experience in, secure AI action and API orchestration, identity management, audit logging, and compliance-driven system design. Strengthened skills in documenting complex distributed workflows and enforcing security best practices in production-like environments.

Real-Time Food Delivery System

• Tech Stack: AWS EC2 (Docker), S3, Aurora (RDS), Kafka (MSK), ElastiCache, Lambda
• Aim: To develop a scalable, event-driven food delivery platform leveraging AWS cloud services, focusing on containerized microservices, real-time data flow, and cloud-native best practices.
• Description: Architected and implemented a real-time food delivery system using Dockerized microservices deployed on AWS EC2, with Kafka (MSK) for event streaming, AWS Lambda for serverless processing, ElastiCache for performance optimization, S3 for static asset storage, and Aurora (RDS) for relational data. Integrated auto scaling and deployment automation to ensure fault tolerance and high availability.
• Outcome: Strengthened expertise in AWS services, cloud infrastructure, backend integration, and microservices deployment. Gained practical experience in building distributed systems, automating deployments, and optimizing performance using caching and event-driven patterns.

IAM-Driven Compliance Framework

• Tech & Standards: IAM, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GRC
• Aim: To explore and document how Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices facilitate compliance with security and privacy standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
• Description: Analyzed the role of IAM in achieving and maintaining regulatory compliance by enabling secure access controls, centralized audit trails, and risk reduction. Evaluated key GRC-aligned IAM capabilities such as automated provisioning, role-based access control, periodic access reviews, and compliance reporting. Mapped IAM functions to specific SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls to demonstrate alignment with audit requirements.
• Outcome: Gained a comprehensive understanding of how IAM supports Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks. Strengthened knowledge of compliance workflows, auditor expectations, and security architecture for enterprise-scale identity systems.

CI/CD for Static Website Deployment

• Tech Stack: GitHub Actions, AWS S3, IAM, AWS CLI
• Aim: To design and implement a secure, fully automated CI/CD pipeline for static website hosting on AWS S3, integrating best practices for access control and deployment automation.
• Description: Engineered an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to automatically build and deploy static assets to AWS S3 upon code commits. Configured least-privileged IAM roles, implemented secrets management for secure credentials handling, and enabled optional optimizations such as S3 Transfer Acceleration and Cross-Region Replication for improved performance and redundancy.
• Outcome: Acquired hands-on expertise in DevOps workflows, IAM-based access control, and serverless deployment strategies. Enhanced skills in automating deployments, optimizing cloud storage delivery, and maintaining security in CI/CD pipelines.
