About Me

Building secure systems and growing through hands-on technical work

I’m an early-career cloud engineer and web developer focused on building secure, practical solutions with AWS, automation, AI-powered applications, and modern web technologies.

My background in web development gave me experience with front-end development, WordPress, PHP, responsive design, and problem solving. As I continued working with technology, I became more interested in cloud architecture, security, serverless systems, infrastructure as code, deployment, and automation.

Through hands-on projects and cloud coursework, I’ve worked with AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EC2, S3, CloudWatch, IAM, and VPC, along with Terraform, AWS SAM, GitHub Actions, JavaScript, and Node.js. I enjoy learning by building, troubleshooting problems, and turning ideas into working solutions.
