Cloud & Cybersecurity Engineer

About Me

I’m a Systems Integration & Test Engineer with an active Secret Government Clearance, currently transitioning into cloud security and solutions architecture. With hands-on experience automating deployments using Python, Bash, and CI/CD pipelines, I’ve contributed to mission-critical aerospace systems while also building a solid foundation in cloud technologies through AWS projects and my cybersecurity master’s program at Kennesaw State University. I’m certified in CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC, and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, with the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification in progress. My technical portfolio showcases real-world projects in IAM, serverless architectures, infrastructure-as-code, and DevSecOps workflows. I’ve also gained practical experience with tools like Wireshark, Autopsy, GitLab, and PowerShell through labs and self-directed learning. Driven by a passion for innovation and secure design, I’m seeking to grow as a Cloud Engineer or Cloud Solutions Architect, leveraging both my engineering background and cybersecurity education to solve complex problems at scale.
