Sponsorship Tracker
UK cloud job hunt, in public.
I'm Sabbir, an international student in the UK looking for a sponsored junior cloud role. This site is a live, transparent record of every application, every certification, every project. Built so other international students can see what's actually working.
Architecture
This site itself is the project. Static assets served from a private S3 bucket via CloudFront (Origin Access Control), with a serverless visitor counter behind API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB. Deployments run via GitHub Actions using OIDC federation, no long-lived AWS keys.
Applications
Illustrative placeholder data while I prepare for the real application round. Will be replaced with live entries as I start applying.
