Technical Infrastructure & Security

This portfolio is architected using production-grade cloud standards to demonstrate secure application deployment, cost control, and edge performance.

• Cloud Application Environment: Built on the ASP.NET framework and deployed seamlessly via Azure App Services.
• Media & Asset Optimization: Static assets and media files are decoupled from the core compute layer and delivered dynamically via Cloudinary's CDN.
• Edge Security & WAF: Protected by Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF). Active custom security rules discard malicious scraping utilities and block automated bot traffic before it ever hits the origin infrastructure.
• Cost Defense & Rate Limiting: Configured with strict edge-caching policies and IP-based rate limiting to insulate the Azure origin, ensuring absolute protection against unexpected cloud egress billing spikes.
• Data Privacy: Implemented cryptographic DNSSEC signing and strict noindex protocol tags to prevent uninvited search engine indexing, keeping traffic exclusively private.
