🎓 Cybersecurity Student @ Florida International University (Class of 2026) 🔐 CompTIA Security+ | ☁️ AWS Solutions Architect – Associate

I’m a cybersecurity student focused on cloud security, infrastructure design, and monitoring systems.

I learn best by building environments, observing how they behave, breaking them on purpose, and then fixing them properly.

Logging, monitoring, and alerting are where I spend most of my time. Recent work includes CloudTrail- and CloudWatch-based detection, event-driven automation, and response workflows using Lambda and EventBridge.

I prefer repeatable, scripted setups over one-off configurations. If something can be defined as infrastructure or automated safely, that’s usually the direction I take.

IAM design, least-privilege access, network boundaries, and understanding how misconfigurations actually get exploited — not just documented.

Exploring where AI can realistically help with detection, analysis, and secure development — while staying aware of its limits and risks.

I help students troubleshoot Linux, networking, OS, and programming labs. Teaching forced me to explain concepts clearly instead of hiding behind jargon.

Most repositories here are:

• cloud security labs rebuilt from scratch

• experiments to validate how AWS services behave

• small tools created to understand a specific problem

• If a repo exists, it’s because it answered a real question I had.

AWS — EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Lambda, SNS, EventBridge

Python • Bash • Java • SQL

Linux • Windows • Virtual labs • Git • CI/CD concepts

• 🛡 CompTIA Security+

• ☁️ AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate

I’m building toward cloud security, security engineering, or platform engineering roles where reliability and security matter more than buzzwords.

All work here is educational and ethical. The goal is to understand systems deeply enough to secure them properly.
