What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values collaboration in cloud security.

As a Cloud Security Engineer, I specialize in AWS services, secure cloud architecture design, and the automation of security workflows. My expertise lies in building resilient and highly available infrastructures with a strong focus on identity management, encryption, and compliance. I leverage tools like Python, CloudFormation, and Terraform to implement scalable and secure solutions that meet organizational needs.

During my internship at Amazon Web Services, I conducted Linux system administration labs and managed scalable cloud infrastructure, including web servers on AWS. I collaborated with peers to design and optimize cloud architectures, ensuring smooth transitions to cloud infrastructure. My experience as a Technical Support Engineer at Old Dominion University allowed me to resolve technical support tickets efficiently, leading to a significant reduction in resolution time and improved customer satisfaction.

I am passionate about continuous learning and have engaged in personal projects that showcase my skills in disaster recovery setups and infrastructure as code. I am committed to delivering high-quality solutions and documentation that enhance operational efficiency and security posture.
