About

Nobody starts in cloud security. Those of us whoโ€™ve made it here came from all sorts of backgrounds. That's why I'm on a mission to make Cloud Security great again๐Ÿš€ I specialize in Cloud Security, DevSecOps, Security Automation, Infrastructure Security, Detection Engineering, Breaching and Cloud Architecture. My work focuses mostly on securing multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, IBM) and AI systems. When I'm not studying in my free time, I enjoy creating valuable cloud security content to share with you guys๐Ÿค All views are my own and not those of my past, present, or future employers.
