Surya Kanagaraj
I architect scalable cloud-native applications, design serverless systems on AWS, and build beautiful user experiences from pixel to production.
Crafting Digital Experiences
I'm a senior fullstack developer and cloud engineer with a passion for building scalable, serverless applications on AWS. I specialize in taking ideas from concept to production — designing architectures, writing clean code, and deploying with confidence.
Cloud Architecture
Design and implement scalable serverless architectures on AWS that scale to zero and cost nothing when idle.
Fullstack Development
Build end-to-end applications from beautiful React UIs to robust Node.js APIs with TypeScript throughout.
AI Integration
Integrate AI capabilities using Claude, building intelligent features like automated testing and content analysis.
DevOps & CI/CD
Automate deployments with GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform, ensuring zero-downtime releases.
Database Design
Design efficient DynamoDB single-table schemas and optimize query patterns for high-performance access.
Security
Implement JWT authentication, IAM policies, API throttling, and security best practices across the stack.
Products I've Built & Shipped
Production applications running on AWS serverless infrastructure, each solving real problems with modern architecture.
Automated testing platform powered by Claude AI and Playwright. Generates test plans from requirements, runs browser-based tests in serverless Lambda functions, and provides AI-analyzed results.
AI-powered resume analysis and job matching platform. Upload your resume, paste a job description, and get instant compatibility scores with actionable improvement suggestions.
Real-time AWS cost monitoring and optimization dashboard. Track spending across services, identify cost anomalies, and get AI-powered recommendations to reduce your cloud bill.

Deploying Frontend via Bitbucket Pipeline to S3 with CloudFront Invalidation
Step-by-step guide on automating frontend deployments using Bitbucket Pipelines, S3 static hosting, and CloudFront cache invalidation.
Terraform — The Automation Tool
Introduction to Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, covering core concepts, providers, modules, and real-world AWS provisioning examples.
Dockerized .NET App and Azure Web App Deployment with GitHub Actions
Complete walkthrough of containerizing a .NET application with Docker and automating deployment to Azure Web App using GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Serverless Masterclass
5 lessons from building real production serverless apps on AWS. Each includes concepts, real examples from my apps, and code snippets.
Scale-to-Zero Economics
Lambda charges per invocation (per 1ms), not per hour. Your app costs $0 when nobody's using it. My 5 production apps together cost less than $10/month.
TestPilot AI uses a 2GB Worker Lambda for Playwright browser tests. It auto-scales to 1000 concurrent executions during peak, then costs nothing at night.
Use on-demand DynamoDB billing — it scales to zero too. Combine with S3 static hosting ($0.023/GB) for an almost-free production stack.
Before vs After
Real cost comparisons from traditional infrastructure to serverless. These aren't hypothetical — they're based on my production apps.
