Hi, I'm

Marika Bergman

Full-stack web developer

Hello!

I'm Marika, a dedicated full-stack developer with a passion for backend development. I enjoy using my skills to build the logic and functionality behind web and mobile applications. Troubleshooting backend issues and crafting elegant solutions is what drives me. I'm also highly interested in cloud engineering and have solidified my practical experience with my three AWS certifications.

Please see below some of the things I have built and my resume - and visit my blog to explore my technical writing and insights.

Projects

Charity Website with Contact Form

A web app created with React and Mantine UI. The app features a user-friendly contact form, allowing users to submit information that is seamlessly forwarded to the admin via email. The frontend is deployed on AWS using CloudFront and S3 for efficient content delivery and hosting. The backend utilizes a serverless architecture with AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda and Amazon Simple Email Service.

GitOps pipeline to deploy AWS infrastructure using Terraform

This project was created as part of GitOps for Terraform minicamp. The solution addresses the challenges by implementing automated code formatting to ensure consistent coding standards, guardrails that restrict infrastructure deployment to predefine parameters and mandatory human approval workflow to control and validate infrastructure changes. A detailed diagram and further instructions are included in the repository.

AWS: AWS resources are created using Terraform. Terraform state is stored remotely in an S3 bucket utilizing DynamoDB state lock
CI/CD:Pipeline is created with GitHub Actions.
