☁️ Junior Cloud & Security Engineer | Actively Job Seeking

AWS • Cloud Operations • Automation • Security

I'm an Information Technology graduate from Arizona State University with a cybersecurity focus, building hands-on experience across AWS cloud infrastructure, automation, systems administration, and security.

My goal is to build and operate reliable cloud environments while applying security and automation throughout the infrastructure lifecycle.

📍 Orlando, Florida — open to remote

☁️ Cloud Operations / Cloud Security focused

🎓 B.S. Information Technology — Arizona State University

📚 AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate — In Progress

I focus on projects that demonstrate how systems actually work, not just how to follow a tutorial. My repositories document real coursework and a deployed capstone project, including:

• Architecture and design decisions
• Infrastructure configuration
• Automation
• Security considerations
• Troubleshooting and bugs found along the way
• Real-world tradeoffs
