Real-World Projects

code
AWS Resource Lifecycle Manager boto3 + S3 + EC2 + Lambda

Build a Python CLI tool that manages AWS resources — lists, starts/stops EC2 instances, manages S3 lifecycle, rotates IAM keys, and generates cost reports — with AI-assisted code generation.

cloud
Multi-Cloud Automation Platform boto3 + azure-sdk + FastAPI
