I am an IT professional with a strong foundation in cloud services, Linux systems administration, and cybersecurity. My journey in technology has been marked by a commitment to excellence, continuous learning, and a passion for mentoring others. Following a few certifications I am very excited to begin my Masters Degree in Cyber Security at WGU. Probably will start in a year or less from now! Following my MS in Cybersecurity I will be driven to test for the RHCSA! With experience as a Data Center Technician, I have hands-on expertise in managing and maintaining critical IT infrastructure. I specialize in optimizing cloud environments, particularly within Amazon Web Services (AWS), and ensuring the security and efficiency of IT systems. My skills extend to managing RHEL systems, Docker containers, and overseeing system migrations in dynamic environments. I recently earned the CompTIA Linux+ certification, further solidifying my skills in Linux systems administration.I am actively pursuing the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification to expand my cloud expertise and am looking to transition into a cybersecurity role within the Army National Guard. My dedication to professional growth is driven by a belief in staying ahead of technological advancements to deliver the best solutions possible.Beyond my technical skills, I am deeply committed to personal growth and helping others. As a father, husband, and mentor, I aim to provide a solid example for my children and to support youth in areas where strong role models are needed. I believe in the power of continuous improvement, both in my career and in my personal life.I am always eager to connect with like-minded professionals, share knowledge, and explore new opportunities.
