The Discord Bot Framework
I’m happy to announce the release of my Discord Bot Framework. A tool that I’ve spent a considerable amount of time working on to help people build and deploy Discord Bots quickly within AWS. Let me first start off by saying I’ve never released a product. I’ve run a service business and I’m a consultant…
Building out a reusable Terraform framework for Flask Applications
I find myself utilizing the same architecture for deploying demo applications on the great Python library Flask. I’ve been using the same Terraform files over and over again to build out the infrastructure. Last weekend I decided it was time to build a reusable framework for deploying these applications. So, I began building out the…

I’m limited on the amount of test data that I have to put through the process. With that said, I spent my Thanksgiving Holiday writing code, building…
API For Pre-signed URLs
Pre-signed URL’s are used for downloading objects from AWS S3 buckets. I’ve used them many times in the past for various reasons but this idea was a new one. A proof of concept for an API that would create the pre-signed URL and return it to the user. This solution utilizes an API Gateway and…
Adding a reminder feature to Discord
As many of you know, I released my Discord Bot Framework the other week. This has prompted me to put sometime into developing new features for the bot’s I manage. I’ve always been a fan of the “remind” functionality that many Reddit communities have. In my Discord, we are often sending media content that I…
Product Name Detection with AWS Bedrock & Anthropic Claude
Well, my AWS bill me a bit larger than normal this month due to testing this script. I thoroughly enjoy utilizing Generative AI to do work for me and I had some spare time to tackle this problem this week. A client sent me a bunch of product images that were not named properly. All…
Streamline Your S3 Management: How to Count Small Files Locally with Python
I recently came across a need to count objects in an S3 bucket that were of particular size. There isn’t a native way to do this within the S3 console so I decided to script it out using Python and the AWS SDK. You can see all of the code on my GitHub. The script…
