👋 About Me

I am passionate about cloud technology and aim to pursue a career as a cloud engineer/cloud architect. I develop my skills through hands-on, production-oriented projects; designing, deploying, troubleshooting, and iteratively improving systems.

My approach is simple: learn by building. I focus on practical architecture, automation, and Infrastructure as Code—because that’s what turns knowledge into real capability.

---

🎯 What I Focus On

• AWS Architecture: secure, scalable, cost-aware designs
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform): clean modules, reusable patterns, remote state
• Python + Boto3 Automation: inventory, governance, cost & security tooling
• CI/CD & DevOps: GitHub Actions pipelines, repeatable deployments
• Cloud Fundamentals (done right): networking, IAM, observability, reliability

---

🧰 Tech Stack (Snapshot)

Cloud & IaC

• AWS (VPC, IAM, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, EventBridge, etc.)
• Terraform (modules, environments, remote state)

Automation & Dev

• Python (Boto3, tooling, clean architecture)
• Docker (containerization)

Delivery

• GitHub Actions (CI/CD)
• Linux (Ubuntu/Xubuntu), CLI-first workflow

---

🚀 Featured Work

• Aegis Production-ready, one-command infrastructure modules (VPC, compute, RDS, cache, security, CI/CD, observability).
  Status: actively building

• aws-terraform-prod-static-site "Production-grade serverless architecture on AWS built with Terraform. Features S3/CloudFront hosting, WAF security, Lambda/DynamoDB backend, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.".
  Focus: Focused on: Security, Remote State, accessibility, CI/CD technologies, lambda, and a serverless backend (user counter) with Dynamodb.

• AWS Environment Scheduler Automated scheduling tool for resources to optimize runtime costs and manage environments efficiently.

📚 Learning & Certifications

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (in progress)
• Continuous improvement in:
  • Terraform module design
  • Observability & reliability patterns
  • Security-by-default (IAM least privilege, network controls)
  • Cost optimization & governance

---

🎓 Education (Professional Summary)

• Vocational High School — Senior Year I’m preparing for the TYT and planning to continue with Open University to maintain a flexible, project-driven learning path.

Why this path?

• I learn fastest through deep focus and building real systems, not only classroom theory.
• I’m balancing education with a part-time job to finance my living expenses, while continuing to develop professionally.
• I prioritize current, industry-relevant technologies and consistent output (projects, docs, automation).

🧠 Background

I explored front-end and cybersecurity fundamentals earlier (ages 16–17), and for the last ~1.5 years my focus has been fully on cloud engineering—especially AWS, automation, and IaC.
