I'm Elijah Little, an active-duty U.S. Army 25B focused on cybersecurity, cloud, and AI. I build hands-on projects in AWS to turn my day-to-day IT work into deployable, production-style experience.
I'm an Information Technology Specialist (25B) in the U.S. Army, currently supporting communications and IT operations while I build a transition-ready career in cloud engineering, cybersecurity, and AI-driven automation.
This portfolio is my lab: I deploy real infrastructure on AWS, automate tasks with Python and APIs, and document everything so it translates directly into resume-ready experience for civilian roles.
Deployed this portfolio as a static site on S3 fronted by CloudFront with HTTPS. Implemented a visitor counter using Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway to simulate a production-style serverless app.
Built a REST API endpoint that increments and returns a page view count stored in DynamoDB. Designed for idempotency and security-focused defaults as I learn more about API design and IAM permissions.
Next iteration: move my contact form off basic email and into AWS SES, improving deliverability, monitoring, and security so messages land where they should.
Used AI tools to generate, organize, and refine study notes for cybersecurity, math, and cloud topics. Focused on building repeatable workflows, not shortcuts, so I actually understand what I deploy.
If you’re a recruiter, hiring manager, or mentor in cloud / cybersecurity, I’m always open to:
