What I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud, Data Analytics, and Technical Education professional with 4+ years of experience delivering workforce development programs, cloud training, curriculum design, and technology mentorship.

I also manage and mentor teaching assistants, set learner baselines with Digital Literacy and Data Literacy assessments, and provide ongoing coaching and progress tracking to support completion and career readiness.
I’m AWS Certified Solutions Architect–Associate, with experience delivering cloud fundamentals through AWS re/Start and technical bootcamps, plus advisory work as an AWS, Azure & DevOps Technical Mentor and Cloud & DevOps Engineer. I’ve secured strategic partnerships (including DataCamp Donates) to fund learner access, and I’ve been recognized through the AWS All Builders Welcome Grant for contributions to cloud education and community impact.
