Going from 0 to Shipped with AWS Amplify
summary
Claim: moving from hand‑rolled AWS CDK work that took two months to an Amplify prototype in two hours. Builds a live recruiting platform for Black Tech Pipeline: a searchable anonymous database backed by AppSync GraphQL with codegen queries, Cognito auth groups, DynamoDB storage, Lambda triggers and a resume file store. Uses the Amplify CLI, connected UI auth components and Amplify Studio features. Demo sends employer introduction emails via a Lambda and works end to end despite minor Wi Fi delays.
