Open to AI, cloud & solutions architect roles

Elaine Yeung

I'm an AI Engineer

I design and ship cloud systems on AWS and build with agentic AI, with a background in finance, IT audit, and identity & access controls that keeps them secure, compliant, and tied to the business.

Agentic architecture A Claude AI agent at the center runs a plan, act, observe loop. It connects to an engineer who sets goals and approves actions, and to tools: the codebase, a shell, the Wrangler CLI, the Cloudflare API, and the Cloudflare edge network where the site is deployed.

// what I do

Where I add value

AI Engineering

Building with LLMs and agentic workflows: giving AI agents real tools, guardrails, and human approval steps so they can safely take action.

Cloud Engineering · AWS

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate. I design, deploy, and secure cloud infrastructure on AWS, from serverless apps to databases, networking, and CI/CD.

Solutions Architecture

Translating business requirements into system designs. My MBA, finance, and Big Four advisory experience means I speak both stakeholder and engineer, in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Shanghainese.

Security & Governance

At KPMG I validated Identity Access Management controls for regulatory compliance, the same least-privilege thinking that good cloud IAM depends on.

I used Claude as an autonomous coding agent connected to my Cloudflare account to design, build, and deploy this site end to end, from reading my resume to production DNS, TLS, and edge routing, with me approving every high-impact action.

Shell · Wrangler CLI · Cloudflare API (OAuth)

Cloudflare Edge

Worker + static assets · DNS · TLS · redirects

  • Agent with real tools: the agent read source files, generated HTML/CSS/JS, upgraded the Node.js runtime, and drove the Wrangler CLI and Cloudflare API on its own.
  • Human-in-the-loop guardrails: publishing to the public internet was blocked by a permission gate until I explicitly approved it.
  • Self-correcting: when Cloudflare's legacy Pages deploy path failed, the agent diagnosed the error and migrated the project to Workers static assets.
  • Edge routing: a Cloudflare Worker sends all http:// and www traffic to https://elaineyeung.com with 301 redirects.
  • DNS migration: moved the domain from Namecheap to Cloudflare nameservers, cleaned up parking records, and attached custom domains with automatic TLS.
  • Verified end to end: every URL variant was tested with automated checks after each deploy.
