Welcome! I'm Rashard — a Cloud Security Developer Advocate and quantum-focused engineer, driving radical evolution in cybersecurity through actionable, project-based progress and community collaboration. My mission: to help define and secure the future of cloud development.

This repository serves as my hands-on portfolio, documenting real-world security challenges, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) implementations, automation, and continuous learning. My '1% better' methodology drives an approach of learning by doing, sharing actionable solutions, and building a resilient, quantum-safe foundation for modern cloud development.

• Actionable Progress: Every project here is a step forward – tested, documented, and shared for others to learn from, embodying my '1% better' approach to solving real-world challenges.
• Transparency: I share not just successes, but crucial lessons learned from iterative experiments and refactoring, demonstrating true continuous improvement.
• Automation & Security: Leveraging GitHub Advanced Security, Codespaces, Dependabot, and AI tools to automate and secure the software supply chain, with an increasing focus on quantum-resistant techniques.
• Community: I actively invite feedback, collaboration, and questions – let’s learn and grow together in this evolving threat landscape!

• Real-world exercises in supply chain security, secret scanning, and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) implementation.
• Demos of automated remediation and quantum-safe configurations within cloud environments.
• Clean, well-documented code and commit history showcasing continuous improvement and iterative development.
• Key learnings, security best practices, and insights into virtualization security.
• A strong focus on cloud-native, DevSecOps, and quantum-readiness.
