My passion for technology and electronics started when I was young when I started to create and maintain the Audio/Visual of the church I attended and still attend approximately 24 years ago. At a young age, I learned and educated myself to assist in maintaining the PA system, the church computer system and Church internet network. throughout the years we also added different software and equipment to the service which required additional resources and volunteers. This gave me the opportunity to educate and mentor the volunteers and help develop their technical skills as well. I felt so much passion and pride in what I did, I knew the career of IT and Networking Administration was where I wanted to go with my career. This created the desire to learn networking. I then got my bachelor in network and communication management. While I continued to help the church and friends and family with IT-related work, I decided to continue my education and get my Master's in Information Systems Management. I also started my journey into the certification world and now hold AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect- Professional , Google Cloud Certified- Professional Cloud Architect; Cisco Certified Network Associate CCNA; CompTIA A+.I am the AWS admin at my current work, where I create and setup Virtual machine for a customer environment. This allows me to expand my AWS knowledge.Feel free to reach out to me directly on LinkedIn or at AThomas0320@gmail.com.Have a great day!
