With 20 years of real-world experience, I've learned that success often requires diving into the unknown and embracing challenges head-on. If you're after someone who's not afraid to roll up their sleeves, learn, and adapt in a constantly evolving landscape, then you've landed on the right profile.Growing up, I was that kid always dismantling things to see how they worked. That curiosity hasn't faded; I still find myself asking 'why' more often than not. But I've also learned that no challenge is insurmountable when you're armed with determination and a willingness to exhaust all resources when needed.My career journey kicked off in customer service and management roles, where I quickly discovered my knack for leading teams and driving results. Whether it was boosting sales figures or turning around customer satisfaction scores, I thrived on the opportunity to make a tangible difference. Even in independent working environments, my dedication always shone through, earning me a reputation for going above and beyond to keep clients happy.Fast forward to today, I'm still on a journey of growth. From tinkering with car audio hardware, mobile phone hardware and building my own pc to DIY home plumbing projects, I've always been willing to dive in and figure things out. This same spirit led me to pursue my first tech role, whether it meant continuing education at Per Scholas or taking on challenges like the Cloud Resume Challenge to showcase my abilities. One thing remains constant: my passion for learning and my eagerness to tackle whatever challenges come my way.Technical Skills:Operating Systems: Windows, Linux, MacProgramming Languages: Python, C++, Java, HTML, CSS, JSON, YAML, BashSoftware: Microsoft Office, Google SuiteCloud: AWS CLI Installation and Configuration, AWS Systems Manager, Amazon S3 for Website Hosting, Amazon EC2 Instances Management, AWS Lambda, AWS Auto Scaling, AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, AWS CloudWatch, AWS Budgets, AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Trusted AdvisorSecurity: Basic Security Principles, Network and Systems Security, Data Protection and Encryption, AWS IAM, AWS Network Firewall, EC2 Instance MonitoringNetworking: Networking Basics and Concepts, AWS VPC Setup and Management, Internet Protocols, Subnetting and IP Address Allocation, Networking TroubleshootingDatabase: Amazon RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Data Organization and Retrieval, Data Manipulation , Querying Data, Database TablesLinux: Linux Basics and Shell Scripting, File Management, User and Group Administration, Cli Process Management
