Documenting cloud projects and foundational insights on my path to Cloud / AI architecture.
I'm building toward cloud engineering with a strong foundation in Linux, AWS, and networking. My work spans infrastructure deployment, systems operations, and service integration, with an emphasis on understanding how systems behave and verifying what works.
Through AWS re/Start at Per Scholas and independent projects, I'm developing hands-on experience with scaling, monitoring, recovery, automation, and applied AI. I document the configuration, troubleshooting, and validation behind that work in my portfolio.
