Summary

I love technology, learning about it, using it and solving problems with it. I got bit by the coding bug back in 2016, where I explored multiple programming languages including HTML/CSS/Javascript for web development, Swift for iOS (developed and published two apps), Python, and C++ for audio.

This led me to discover how computers communicate with each other and that there are always vulnerabilities present in an environment. So I decided to learn about networking and cybersecurity. I got Security+ certified and became CCNA certified on November 2022. I'm further developing my cybersecurity skills as a student in Level Effect's Cyber Defense Analyst Bootcamp.

Always learning and always curious! I'm currently going through a fellowship with Booz Allen Hamilton and learning about DevOps, Cloud (AWS), CI/CD (Jenkins), Container Orquestration (Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (Ansible and Terraform). As part of the fellowship, I'm studying for AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associates (expected March 2023).
