About Me

I'm an aspiring Cloud Support Engineer with a strong passion for cloud computing and a drive to solve real-world challenges using AWS technologies. Currently pursuing my Master's in Cybersecurity at Stephen F Austin State University, I combine academic knowledge with hands-on experience to build secure, scalable cloud solutions.

My journey in tech started as an IT Service Desk Analyst at Zenith Bank PLC, where I resolved 30-50 support tickets weekly and reduced repeat issues by 95% through SQL-driven analysis. Now, as a SOC Analyst Intern, I'm diving deeper into security monitoring, SIEM tools, and threat detection.

I'm especially interested in AWS services like EC2, S3, VPC, and Lambda, and I'm constantly exploring how these tools interconnect to create reliable and efficient architectures. I enjoy turning theory into hands-on, practical solutions.

Outside of tech, I love meeting new people, exploring new places, and trying unique foods from around the world. My favorite Southern American dishes? Definitely crawfish and crab legs—can't beat that flavor!
