About me
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate & Cloud Practioner, with CompTIA Security+ and a Computer Science degree in progress. Focused on cloud security and infrastructure optimization, with interest in roles such as Cloud Security Engineer, Soc Analyst, or customer-facing cloud solutions positions.
Built resilience and adaptability from years in sales (Door-to-Door,T-Mobile, AT&T) walking house to house in the rain, hearing "no" all day, and still showing up the next morning. That same grit now drives my work in securing and scaling cloud environments.
Outside of certifications and projects, I'm driven by curiosity, I enjoy understanding how things work, breaking them down, and making them better. Whether it's fine-tuning cloud architectures, locking down security vulnerabilities, or building a clean portfolio site from scratch, I enjoy the process as much as the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What inspired you to create KeenKloud?
I wanted a place to document and showcase my journey in cloud security beyond just certifications. KeenKloud highlights hands-on projects where I turn theory into practice and share solutions that are scalable, secure, and real-world ready.
2. Who is KeenKloud for?
KeenKloud was intentionally created as an extension of my resume, something recruiters can explore beyond a PDF. But it’s also for students, aspiring cloud and security professionals, and potential clients who want help bringing their digital ideas to life, whether for business or personal brand.
3. What kind of projects can I find here?
Projects focused on AWS, cloud security, and automation, ranging from secure static site deployments to monitoring, CI/CD, and defense-in-depth architectures. I’ll also be expanding into Capture the Flag challenges and penetration testing in the near future.
4. How do these projects differ from tutorials online?
These projects are built from my own creativity and network, not copy-and-paste labs. They’re designed with real-world use cases in mind, showing how I approach security, scalability, and automation from a practitioner’s perspective.
5. Where are you heading next with KeenKloud?
I’ll continue expanding into advanced cloud security projects, including Zero Trust architectures, SOC workflows, and incident response in AWS. I also plan to share more Capture the Flag and penetration testing work, documenting the process as I grow as a security engineer.
